Important Contacts for Undergraduate Students
We know that taking classes remotely and only coming to campus for essential learning activities is challenging. That's why we created this list of important contacts for the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) undergraduate students. Connect with the correct faculty or staff member to get academic and career advising, join a student organization, or learn program-specific information.
