Dean's Message to Alumni During Coronavirus Pandemic

"Across the nation and around the globe, HHD alumni in healthcare-related fields are on the frontlines of battling the novel coronavirus disease. Doctors, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, transporters, EMTs, pharmacists, social workers, and everyone who supports patient care are rising to the occasion and caring for our most vulnerable populations in this unprecedented crisis. I have never been prouder of our HHD alumni.

On behalf of everyone at the College of HHD and the broader Penn State community, I want to express my deep thanks for the sacrifices you make, every day and especially during this pandemic. Your dedication, commitment, and courage deserve our deepest gratitude and admiration. As our community is being tested as never before, your service to patients is saving countless lives, and these tireless efforts embody the very best of our common mission to care for and improve the lives others. We are proud to have you as part of our HHD family."
