What is CEEJH?

 
 

The Center for Community Engagement, Environmental Justice, and Health (CEEJH) at the University of Maryland School of Public Health was founded in 2011 by Dr. Sacoby Wilson, full-time Professor in the Maryland Institute for Applied Environmental Health. CEEJH’s primary focus is to provide engagement to highly and differentially exposed populations and underserved communities. Our work has included the development of and participation in partnerships with community-based organizations, environmental advocacy groups, health practitioners, and policymakers (federal, state, and local government) to reduce local contamination, improve environmental quality, and enhance community health and sustainability.

Environmental Justice Scorecard

CEEJH has recently developed an Environmental Justice Agency Scorecard that assesses the effectiveness of Maryland agencies' integration of environmental justice into their plans and actions. The scorecard assigns a letter grade based on contributions to five major areas, holding the nine selected state agencies responsible for taking steps to advance the environmental justice movement.
