Welcome to our new Newsletter!
Greetings!
It is with great pleasure that I address those of you reading our inaugural newsletter. The numerous faculty members within the Department of Health Sciences have recognized a need to communicate, on a more personal level, with all of our constituents. We decided that a department newsletter would do the trick. Granted, a newsletter is not the same as one-on-one personal contact. But, we feel that this newsletter will add a much needed personal touch to the somewhat sterile websites commonly used to describe university programs.
The purpose of the newsletter is to describe the life, energy and direction.…in a sense, the pulse….. of our Department. Through these pages we will attempt to inform our students, colleagues and alumni about the current activities that are taking place in the James Madison University Department of Health Sciences.
