Our Administration & Staff

OUR STRATEGIC PLAN

I am excited to introduce the College of Health and Human Services 2025-2028 strategic plan, which sets forth ambitious, collaborative and community-focused vision, goals and objectives to guide our decisions and grow resources for the next three (3) years.  The strategic plan empowers us to further advance our highly ranked academic programs, extend the impact of our excellence in research, and continue to build strong community partnerships, while diversifying and growing resources through grants and philanthropy.

OUR PURPOSE

We are committed to advancing equitable health and well-being for all. 

OUR STRATEGIC PILLARS

LEADING COMMUNITY IMPACT

Our research and service advance health equity and well-being through our leadership in community collaborations and translational practices and policies that center the needs of individuals and communities regionally, nationally and globally.

ADVANCING INNOVATIVE PRACTICES

Our academic programs and related research training programs prioritize interprofessional and interdisciplinary concepts to ensure that the work of students, faculty and staff have the greatest positive impact on health equity and well-being of individuals and communities.

DEVELOPING STUDENTS FOR COMPELLING CAREERS

Through our strong relationships with community partners, we recruit and prepare current and future generations of health and human services professionals to have a direct impact on the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

WE ARE CHHS

Through the strength of the collaborations we have across all CHHS schools, our alumni, and our community partners, we are committed to growing our collective brand identity and fostering belongingness and leadership growth throughout the college. We engage the community to inform practices and policies while growing and diversifying our resources.

Diversity & Inclusion

CHHS is committed to equitably serving and supporting diverse students, faculty, staff, and communities.

Officially established in 1978, the College of Health and Human Services began its innovative journey 120 years ago– with a then-cutting edge physical training program for women in 1901. Since then, our five schools have advanced the CHHS tradition of academic and community leadership–watch how it started and how it’s going today.
