Dean's Welcome

Greetings Hofstra Pride,

It would not be an overstatement to say I am ecstatic to be a member of the Hofstra community. As the new Dean of the School of Health Professions and Human Services (HPHS), it is an honor to lead such a rich collection of health care programs in one academic unit. Our capacity for interdisciplinary research, instruction, and engagement is unlimited. By establishing an operational structure that encourages creativity, facilitates collaboration, and supports innovation, I intend to lead HPHS to new heights.
