CHHS Core Values by Department
School of Nursing (SON)
Integrity - "Faculty and staff from the School of Nursing are always open to learning, work hard, are persistent, and willing to embrace new ideas while holding on to best practices for optimal student outcomes."

Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies (RLS)
Recreation and Leisure Studies is proudly implementing Growth Mindset. Recreation and Leisure Studies teaches students to create community through people, parks, and programs.

Department of Health Care Administration (HCA)
Health Care Administration is proudly implementing "Collaboration." Recently, HCA sponsored an event hosted by student organizations. In this event, students had the opportunity to meet and ask questions to our board members. Eight of our board members attended the event. This allowed students to gain valuable insight to take into their careers as hospital administrators
“Community partnerships makes a different in student learning. HCA students met with 8 of HCA advisory board members at the Coffee Social event hosted by HCA students clubs (HCASF & UPD) and we are so very proud of this collaboration!" -Dr. Erlyana Erlyana, HCA Chair.
