Rodney G Handy
Associate Professor Biography:Rod Handy, MBA, Ph.D., CIH is a technical professional with over twenty years of experience. This experience has been divided between academia, consulting, and industry. While in industry, Rod was a plant engineer responsible for mechanical facility concerns. Dr. Handy's past teaching and training experience has been primarily in industrial hygiene, environmental science, and engineering technology. Most of his past consulting experience has been involved with green manufacturing and environmental/occupational health and safety applications. Rod has also taught workplace continuing education courses in Virginia, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky.
