CHHS Dean's Discretionary Fund

The Dean’s Discretionary Fund provides flexible support for the College of Health and Human Services’ most immediate priorities. This fund allows the Dean to respond quickly to emerging opportunities, student needs, and strategic initiatives that strengthen education, research, and community impact across the college.
