University invited to two celebrations on July 27
On July 27, the College of Health and Human Services will host one event to celebrate two momentous occasions. The first is the grand opening of the renovated second floor of the Ernest Wilbur Building, which will house the new Doctor of Physical Therapy program. The second is celebrating Dr. Earlie M. Washington's 12 years as dean of the college.
Date: July 27, 2018
- EWB Grand Reopening: 2 to 4 p.m., short program at 2:30 p.m.
- Dean Washington's Celebration: 4 to 6 p.m.
Location: Ernest Wilbur Building, 1101 Oliver St., Kalamazoo MI 49008
Grand reopening - 2 to 4 p.m.
In the past months, CHHS newsletters have included information about the development of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program and the construction on the second floor of EWB. Much of that work is beginning to pay off as the program is about to officially begin accepting applications and the renovations on the building that will house the program are nearing completion. CHHS is pleased to host an open house from 2 to 4 p.m, with a short program at 2:30 p.m.
Dean Washington - 4 to 6 p.m.
Dr. Earlie Washington came to Western Michigan University originally as the director of the School of Social Work in 2000, and has been dean of the College of Health and Human Services since 2006. At the end of July, she will end her tenure as dean and start a yearlong administrative leave. To celebrate Dr. Washington's time and successes as the dean of CHHS, the college will host an old fashioned, outdoor barbecue from 4 to 6 p.m.
