Our programs in the College of Health are thriving 鈥� in great part due to our amazing students, our talented faculty and staff, and our excellent COH Leadership Team. I want to take a moment to applaud our leaders in the COH, who have been diligently at work throughout the summer and the regular academic year. I am starting my third year as Dean and can attest that this Leadership Team is the strongest I have ever worked with! Please take a moment to get to know this great team.
