The UNT College of Health & Public Service appreciates our advisory boards. Their expertise, skills and guidance are an invaluable asset in helping us stay on top of industry and organizational trends, keep our curriculum in line with ever-changing workforce needs and connect our students with leaders in their fields.
We will continue to update our board lists as they are finalized.
HPS Development Advisory Board
The College of Health and Public Service Advancement Board is a critical partner for the college. They work with the Dean, her team and the departments to share the mission of the college with the community and generate support. Comprised of alumni from our various departments, the board brings a unique perspective as individuals who have successfully used their HPS degrees in their careers. They offer insight and advice on networking with other alumni, prospective donors, internships and high-impact initiatives.
