Our Health& Travel - College of Health

The act of travel is often associated with broadening one’s horizons through cultural, historical and culinary immersion and may be more financially accessible to the public now than ever before. However, despite the remarkable personal benefits, our current travel habits — locally, regionally and globally — are starting to show the long-term risks and costs that previously were hidden.

Watch the Our Health& series as we take a deeper dive around the future of travel — from the economic policies and constraints at a community level to the current and trending environmental health impacts to how COVID may have changed travel behaviors for the better. Watch OSU faculty and staff from the College of Heath’s Environmental and Occupational Health program, OSU Cascades’ Sustainable Tourism Lab and the OSUAA’s Group Travel Program for a robust discussion around the complexities of sustainable travel and how it will take a lift from us all to preserve a fundamentally positive human experience for generations to come.
