In May of 2016, AIHce was held in Baltimore, Maryland. Thirteen graduate students in the program attended the conference, presenting nine posters. One additional student poster from a student at University Adres Bello, who has been collaborating with UI faculty and students, is also included in the industrial hygiene family of presentations. The following contains posters prepared and presented by students. The student authors are identified in bold.

In addition, the AIHce recognized the "Best Paper of 2015" from the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene. The paper recognized was co-authored by alumna Kim Anderson (MS IH 2010, PhD 2013), and data from her thesis and dissertation were incorporated into this final paper on a project aimed to investigate the efficiency of large particle inhalation by humans.
