Strategic Plan
Our Goals
GOAL 1
PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERS THROUGH RIGOROUS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND ROBUST STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Introduce new course material on topics of emerging interest, such as global public health dynamics across the lifespan, impacts of climate change, newly recognized toxicological and modern physical hazards
Further increase practicum opportunities with regional government agencies, industries, and other organizations
Improve the matriculation rate of MPH applicants, and increase the diversity of students enrolled
GOAL 2
EXPAND KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD OF PUBLIC HEALTH THROUGH SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AND INNOVATION
Maintain a clear focus on impact of chemical, physical, and biological agents on common human disorders including:
mechanistic studies in model systems on signaling pathways affected by these agents
gene x environment interactions to identify susceptibility as a function of gender, age, inherited, and acquired contributions
Broaden scope of contributing factors (lifestyles and behavior including violence and stress, tobacco, diet and nutrition) into mechanistic studies of role of environment in common human disorders
Further increase search for biomarkers of exposure
Develop projects in computational modeling to resolve environmental health interrelationships and their dynamics
Expand analytical biochemical capabilities (lipidomics, genomics, telomere) to enable high throughput efforts for population studies
GOAL 3
ADVANCE THE HEALTH OF POPULATIONS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN THROUGH FACULTY SERVICE, IN COOPERATION WITH PARTNERS AT THE REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL LEVELS
Participate in and advise local environmental groups to promote improved health equality, responding to environmental issues of particular regional concern by developing and communicating relevant scientific information
Assume leadership role and active investigation in regional and statewide emerging public health concerns
Unconventional energy procurement and hydrofracturing
GOAL 4
SECURE ADEQUATE RESOURCES AND PROMOTE OPERATIONS EFFECTIVENESS
Re-organize laboratory facilities for teaching students cutting-edge techniques in environmental assessment, molecular pathophysiology, functional genomics, and quantitative environmental health modeling
Further increase the number of students enrolled in our MPH and certificate programs by obtaining a training grant
