چکیده

The College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences was created in 2002 through a merger of the former College of Education and the former College of Human Ecology. The merger of these two colleges, both with rich histories and exemplary records of achievement, resulted from a recognition of complementary institutional missions and a belief that the two colleges, as one, would become more effective in dealing with the complex challenges facing families, schools, and communities in the 21st century. The union of Education and Human Ecology to form the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences honors its past independent accomplishments but is now focused on an interdependent future.
