EHS Internal Audits
Internal audits are scheduled for Baruch College, John Jay College of Cirminal Justice and

As has been the practice, EH&S Officers from other campuses volunteered to serve on these
internal audits. This practice provides added value to all involved. Anyone wishing to volunteer
for an upcoming audit should contact Michael Spath, Environmental Compliance Manager,
CUNY, Central Office, at michael.spath@mail.cuny.edu .
