Things have moved
Wayfinding note:
CHHS Advising and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion have moved to the CHHS Student Engagement Center, which is located in the atrium of the CHHS building.
The skills of our graduates and the importance of the professions we serve have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses and physician assistants are on the front lines. We rely on public health professionals and social workers for information to guide our daily activities. Physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists are necessary to help rehabilitate those recovering from COVID-19.
Everything we do is aimed at helping you succeed. If you want to know how we can help you find an amazing career or participate in incredible research, just ask us.
