Dr. Mehmet Öztan Service Faculty "My service philosophy is based on exposing students to thought-provoking, place-based and relevant content to help them become better professionals and humans while supporting faculty through the events I organize to advance their teaching and research agenda." "As a minoritized, underrepresented service faculty, I accomplished many initiatives that increased Eberly College’s and WVU’s profile in the fields of food and environmental justice through publicly engaged activities, workshops and media appearances. These activities also helped close the communicational gap between the university and communities in and beyond West Virginia."
