Welcome TO Fall 2009 Semester

EHHS Reorganized into Schools

Starting this fall, 2009, the College of Education, Health, and Human Services has reorganized its units into schools. Up to this time, we were organized into both schools (e.g. School of Exercise, Leisure, and Sport) and departments (e.g. Department of Teaching, Leadership, and Curriculum Studies). These units were from the days prior to the formation of the new college of Education, Health, and Human Services. EHHS offered a variety of new programs and it made sense to put together programs with similar base of research, theory, and professional practices so that faculty and students could better collaborate. The hope is that this reorganization will enhance and focus the professional preparation of students within the disciplines.

Web links to the four new schools (and the programs within them) can be found on the left of this page. The link for each school also contains the name of the school director, location of school office, and contact information for that office. Faculty can be found in the same offices as in previous years. The quickest way to find a faculty member is to use the Flashline Faculty/Staff Directory. And of course, the Vacca Office of Student Services can be found in the same location as years past: 304 White Hall. If you have a quick question, stop by or call 330.672.2862.
