Dear Friends and Colleagues, The College of Health and Human Services is proud to present its 2013 Faculty Research Profiles. The purpose of this resource is to foster an increased awareness of the research expertise housed in our academic departments, centers and institutes. We envision that the 2013 Faculty Research Profiles will serve as a bridge to exploring new collaborations and partnerships that will assist in addressing the critical health and human services issues in the region. While each department, center and institute is unique and distinctive, we share one commitment: Live Well Central California.
