School of Public Health
The award for "vanishing act of the year" goes to the
College of Health and
Human Performance whose shingle
dropped from sight early this summer and was replaced
by one proclaiming a new School
of Public Health.
The ribbon cutting for the new school is in 10 days on
the 26th. Dr. Harvey
Fineberg, President of the Institute
of Medicine and former dean of public health at Harvard,
will speak at the ceremony along with others who have
made this day possible.
The transformation of HHP to the School of Public Health
has been the most remarkable academic transformation
I have ever witnessed. Dean
Bob Gold and his entire team
executed this conversion with less controversy than a
pay raise. It is a lesson for all of us on how to create
real value by shifting focus and resources to high priority
and high opportunity fields.
