Student Resources

At the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS), we aim to prepare students and set them up for a fulfilling life in the health and human service sector. In our mission to suppport students, we've compiled a list of resources the college offers that can guide in navigating the college as well as providing a launch point for academic, career, health and wellness services.
