In roughly 12 months, after a national search, UMN Provost Rachel Croson will name a new dean of the School of Public Health (SPH).
SPH is a strong and vibrant school that makes groundbreaking discoveries and prepares our world’s future public health and healthcare leaders, alongside and in collaboration with the communities we serve.
To best position SPH for the next dean, we must harness the great strengths of our school to address a number of challenges and pursue opportunities over the next 12 months. Namely, we will focus on: analyzing and bolstering our financial portfolio; launching an undergraduate major in fall 2023; aligning our student services efforts; strengthening our culture; and improving our ranking among the top schools in the nation.
During this Community Forum, Interim Dean Tim Beebe will share more details about the specific school-wide priorities and projects we will undertake over the coming year, including progress we have made thus far.
