The core of our mission here at the College of Health and Human Sciences is addressing health equity and critical social issues. You will see in the following articles the outstanding efforts being made by our faculty, students, staff.

The deep commitment of CHHS to this mission is evidenced by partnerships with our community agencies and industry. These partnerships focus on knowledge creation, new technologies, and student clinical and practice work that contribute to the health and well-being of vulnerable populations. Such social issues include food insecurity, addictions, patient-centered interprofessional care, underinsured, and other health and mental health disparities.

You will also read about our faculty and students being recognized for their innovation and leadership by their professional organizations as well as competitive local and federal grant funders.

I am excited to share all these efforts with you. I know you will see by these highlights that our faculty, students, and staff are making incredible contributions and changing the world.

Sincerely,

Audrey M. Shillington
