What They're saying...
I have loved being a part of the College of Heath and Public Service. The professors and staff went out of their way to help me succeed in my classes.
I look forward to my future career as a nurse. This college and the Nursing program instilled in me the confidence to engage in local projects and positively impact communities.
The faculty and staff supported my efforts to graduate in a seemingly impossible short amount of time. Each person I have interacted with has been a wonderful help toward my goals.

Exceptional care is a core value at UVU, and I see faculty practicing that every single day. Students in the program feel like they’re a part of something bigger.”

Meet the Dean
When I look at the students in our college, I see our future. Our future workforce. Our future leaders.
The career paths that our students choose are the heart of our community. CHPS graduates fill a critical need and serve the public good! They are the essential workers, boots-on-the-ground first responders. They are our dental hygienists, respiratory therapists, nurses, and physician assistants. They run our hospitals and teach our children about health education. They are the ones who jump into action when you dial 911 due to a fire, car accident, or safety situation. They care, they serve, they protect.
It is a true honor to lead this college of heroes.
Warm regards,
Cheryl Hanewicz
Dean, College of Health and Public Service
