1,857 Minutes to Invest in the Experts Behind Every Spartan!
The Foundation of Our College
The College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS) is at the forefront of preparing California’s future healthcare and social services workforce. While our students and faculty are the face of this mission, our staff are the foundation. From clinical coordinators and laboratory technicians to academic advisors and administrative leads, the Dean’s Office recognizes that our collective success depends on a staff that is highly skilled, innovative, and empowered.
The Vision: A Culture of Continuous Growth
The Dean’s Office is launching The CHHS Staff Excellence Fund to bridge the gap between ""doing the job"" and ""mastering the field."" In an era of rapid technological change and evolving educational standards, we believe our staff deserve the same commitment to lifelong learning that we instill in our students.
