To provide quality health and human service education, scholarship, and leadership, to advance health management and policy, population health and well-being in an evolving region and world.

Vision

We envision a world where innovative, community-driven health and human services promote the well-being of entire populations.

Goal 1 (instructional): Develop students’ competence for evidence-based practice that promotes health and well-being across multiple populations and communities.

Goal 2 (scholarship): Engage in practice-informed research and scholarship and evidence-based practice to improve the quality of population health and human services.

Goal 3 (service): Collaborate with communities to address persistent and emerging population health challenges and promote health and well-being.

We are guided by the core values of professionalism, collaboration (across professional disciplines and community contexts), lifelong learning, and optimizing health and well-being across the lifespan for all population groups.
