Dean gives back to village that was part of her research

WATERLOO — Like most academics, the dean of applied health sciences at the University of Waterloo spends hours engrossed in her research.

But Susan Elliott is taking her work to a whole other level. As a medical geographer, Elliott has turned her work on health and the environment into a personal project.

Elliott has kick-started the building of a water and sanitation facility in the rural village of Usoma in Kenya.
