Dear Kinesiology alumni and friends,
As I hope you heard back in December, the College of Human Ecology will become the College of Health and Human Sciences effective June 1. Last year, I met with faculty and students, alumni, donors and key stakeholders of the college to gather feedback on this change. We received an extremely large number of supporters. On December 12, 2018, the name change was officially approved by the Board of Regents. You can read the official University announcement here.
While the name is new, the college will still offer the same programs it has always offered. Our hope is that with a new name, our college becomes more recognizable at the national level and becomes easier for prospective students to understand what our college has to offer.
I look forward to what is next for our college where, “in a world focused on things, we focus first on people.”
Sincerely,
John Buckwalter
Betty L. Tointon Dean
College of Health and Human Sciences (effective June 1, 2019)
