Friend, Welcome to E-Viewpoints. In this issue you will read about a few of the many outstanding accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. We are thrilled that their excellence is being recognized through awards from Fulbright Scholars to industry recognitions to the Chancellor’s Council. Our students continue to live out our mission to enhance and improve the human condition so it’s no wonder that our alumni are doing the same. The College of Human Sciences is very fortunate to have a historically solid foundation of leadership which allows us to continue our tradition of excellence and growth. You will read an update on one person who was instrumental in strengthening our foundation, Dr. Bess Haley. We reap the rewards of Dr. Haley’s efforts every day. We are so proud to be able to showcase our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends in this forum.
