The College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) seeks to foster a culture that reflects the commitment of the College and 茄子社区 to embrace and uplift the unique differences of our students, staff, and faculty. Those differences serve to create an environment where we thrive and excel, knowing that celebrated differences enrich and strengthen society overall. CHHS strives to be the first choice higher education destination for students seeking to earn a health-related degree, as well as its staff and faculty, with a focus on developing and imbedding a strong sense of belonging, culture, and holistic success.
The Equity Council, with support of Dean, Dr. Dale Stephenson, brought the Intercultural Development Inventory Workshop to the College of Health and Human Services.
