Tremendous growth at the School of Public Health has not only increased our School’s impact, but has highlighted the importance of a scalable organizational framework. In November 2021, the School rolled out a reorganization of its administrative staff. The cornerstone of the School’s new structure is its four administrative cores, each aligned with one of the four academic departments:
- Biostatistics
- Behavioral and Social Sciences
- Epidemiology
- Health Services, Policy, and Practice
Research centers that correspond with each academic department are also supported by the overarching administrative cores.
The goal of this new foundation is to provide consistent structures for each center and department. By grouping staff into these cores, we create pathways for staff support and growth, foster collaboration and community among staff and faculty, and coordinate with similar efforts in other parts of the University.
Each administrative core is responsible for:
- Grant Management
- Academic Administration
- Operations
- Financial Management
This staffing model allows the School to enhance service levels to faculty and students, and enables staff to specialize and gain growth opportunities as the School continues to grow.
