From the dean

The School of Health Sciences is growing. Since July, we have welcomed five new full-time faculty and two new staff members to total 22 full-time faculty and 5 1/2 full time equivalent staff. For those who remember Lynne Wentz, she now serves as the administrative assistant for the Department of Physician Assistant Studies.

We continue to enjoy our new facility, the Gerald L. Francis Center. Please accept my personal invitation to visit in the near future.

Elizabeth A. Rogers,
Dean
