About Us
South Dakota State University's School of Health and Human Sciences has a new name to go with a new focus: the School of Health and Human Sciences.
"The common thread is that they're people-centered, learning how to serve people from a business, customer service, and a leadership perspective," says Jessica Meendering, director of the school, which is part of SDSU's College of Education and Human Sciences.
The name change is part of a restructuring of the school, which was previously known as the School of Health and Consumer Sciences.
The consumer affairs program is now part of SDSU's Ness School of Management and Economics.
"This name change will position the school and its faculty to attract increased amounts of extramural funding and research collaborations with internal and external stakeholders," says Evan Ortlieb, dean of the College of Education and Human Sciences.
The school's programs include aviation, fashion studies and retail merchandising, leadership and management of nonprofit organizations, and hospitality, tourism, and event management. Read the Entire Article
