Major Themes in the College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS)

There are several major themes to which faculty, staff, students, and programs throughout the college are directed. These include health and well being (broadly defined to include mental health, physical health, community health, public health, social health, and public safety), human sciences, ethics, lifespan development, social and economic justice, and outreach to individuals, families, and communities. CHHS is committed to the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusiveness at the individual and societal levels. Major emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of the university population and the citizens of Nevada, particularly the vulnerable populations who are so prevalent in our state.
