We are proudly committed to equity, inclusion and community engagement.
The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences is committed to action-oriented and evidence-based policies to address inequity and create a more welcoming, accessible and inclusive space for our students, faculty, staff and friends in the community. We believe that there are systemic problems that require complex solutions, and we are dedicated to developing and implementing those solutions in order to create not only a more equitable academic environment but also a more equitable health care system, which we believe can be done through the education of the next generation of health care leaders.
Vision Statement: SHRS is an inclusive community of faculty, staff and students that reflects and celebrates the diversity of talents and contributions of all people in society.
Our People, Our Programs, Our Purpose: We are a diverse community of learners, partners and leaders dedicated to the preparation of health and rehabilitation professionals in the pursuit of health equity that improves lives and transforms communities.
