School of Health & Human Sciences
Researchers and students in the School of Health and Human Sciences continue to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing our world – health disparities, obesity, community peace building, and more. Our faculty are deeply engaged in the community, and students gain hands‑on experience through coursework, service, practica, student teaching, clinical rotations, and internships that directly support individuals, families, and communities.
Support from donors through Light the Way has strengthened our ability to inspire and equip people, and to work in ways that make the world better, safer, healthier, and more humane and just. This campaign has expanded opportunities, elevated research, and fueled the work that will shape healthier communities for generations to come.
