The College of Health and Human Sciences is one of Metropolitan State University of Denver’s newest colleges, and there’s no better way to kick off new beginnings than the inaugural CHHS Week of events, said Hope Szypulski, DNP, Dean of the CHHS.
“The common thread through all of our departments is that we’re all interwoven in caring for each other, so we really wanted the chance to bring everyone across the University together to celebrate,” she said.
Several events are open to the entire MSU Denver community, including:
Tuesday, Sept. 3
