Dean's Message

Image of Cheryl (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
