Welcome to Wellstar College of Health and Human Services

I am honored and excited to serve as the Interim Dean of the Wellstar College of Health and Human Services (Wellstar College). As our mission states, we lead in transforming lives through high-quality, innovative educational programs, cutting-edge research, and dedicated service to our communities.

Wellstar College is home to:

• 5 graduate programs

• 7 undergraduate programs

• A wide array of Double Owl pathways

• Collaborative engagement with the Honors College

• A diverse selection of minors and certificate programs

Our students thrive in state-of-the-art laboratories, participate in undergraduate and graduate research, and gain practical, hands-on learning experiences. These opportunities translate into real-world skills, preparing them for the workforce of today and the challenges of tomorrow.

I am excited about the road ahead and invite you to walk it with us. We are building momentum toward national prominence—staying agile, bold, and responsive to the needs of our students and the communities we serve. With the passion of our KSU family, the strength of our partners, the trust of our stakeholders, and the generosity of our donors, we will not only achieve our vision—we will set a new standard for what is possible. And when we do, we will celebrate, together.
