Koocher Soon after arriving in late June of 2013, I found myself amazed by the welcoming climate at the College and the many accomplishments of the faculty and staff that had taken place under the leadership of Interim Dean Jerry Cleland. As the newest academic unit of DePaul, all components of the College faced challenges of continuity, cohesion, and innovation. We forged a new growth model of the College, completed articulation and collaboration agreements in our alliance with Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine Science, and continued to grow. Associate Dean Mona Shattell’s idea of an annual report as a way to showcase our accomplishments has now borne fruit. The report you have in front of you does an excellent job of recognizing our highly productive faculty, hard-working staff, and outstanding advising team, all of whom collaborate effectively to provide an outstanding educational environment. I expect that the College will soon become widely known as a high value destination for undergraduates and graduate students aspiring to productive careers in mathematics, the natural sciences, and the health AN professions. Not bad for a two-year-old! Best, Gerry Koocher LEADERSHIP & HISTORY LEADERSHIP & LEADERSHIP HISTORY College of Science and Health Leadership & History In 2011, nine of DePaul University’s broad and nationally recognized science and math programs networked under a new grouping—the College of Science and Health. The merger allows departments to maintain the caliber of each autonomous program while enjoying the benefits of greater integration between sciences, mathematics, and health studies. The following departments, centers, schools, and institutes comprise DePaul’s newest college: Biological Sciences CHAIR John Dean, PhD Chemistry CHAIR Lihua Jin, PhD Environmental Science & Studies CHAIR Judy Bramble, PhD Health Sciences CHAIR Craig Klugman, PhD Mathematical Sciences CHAIR Ahmed Zayed, PhD Physics CHAIR Jesus Pando, PhD Psychology CHAIR Susan McMahon, PhD School of Nursing DIRECTOR William Cody, RN, PhD, CNE, FAAN STEM Studies DIRECTOR Lynn Narasimhan, PhD Quantitative Reasoning Center DIRECTOR David Jabon, PhD Center for Community Research DIRECTOR Leonard Jason, PhD Family & Community Services DIRECTOR Orson Morrison, PsyD Institute for Nature and Culture DIRECTOR Liam Heneghan, PhD 4 Advisory Council The Advisory Council, a volunteer group comprised of alumni and friends of the College, is committed to the goal of educating students within the highest standards. Advisory Council members provide resources for the college, including current insight on working in math, science, and health fields, professional and internship opportunities for students, and support for the College of Science and Health. The Advisory Council exhibits a strong Vincentian commitment to social justice and civic engagement, and long term planning is made exponentially more effective with the members’ knowledge of their respective math, science, and health fields and markets.

The graph below shows the increase in undergraduate, graduate, and combined total enrollment. The CSH became a college of nine departments in 2011; this data reflects the programs’ enrollment growth beginning in 2009, separated out from each department’s former college. CSH Undergraduate and Graduate 4000 Student Enrollment 3391 3500 3201 2833 3000 2662 2538 2487 ENROLLMENT Undergraduate 2500 2330 2125 1883 Graduate 2000 1716 Total 1500 1000 729 614 655 708 714 Number of Students Enrolled of Students Number 500 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 TOP TEN DECLARED* # New DePaul freshmen are choosing College FRESHMAN MAJORS AT STUDENTS of Science and Health programs for their DEPAUL (CSH Majors in Bold) ENROLLED studies.

Facility Expansion: New Spaces for Learning in McGowan South and Byrne Hall Summer 2014 will see the beginning of the fourth floor build out of McGowan South and new renovations to Byrne Hall, facilities which house several departments within the College of Science and Health. The Board of Trustees approved funding for the construction of multiple labs, classrooms and office space in McGowan South, slated to be complete by January 1, 2015. Extensive remodeling of Byrne Hall’s Department of Physics space will establish two cutting edge studio classrooms; construction in Byrne Hall will be completed by September 2014. Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Chemistry Richard Niedziela has been the liaison to Facility Operations for the duration of the expansion project. Dr. Niedziela reports that the McGowan South build out will include: a new anatomy and physiology lab, a general chemistry lab, a physical chemistry lab, and a general, flexible lab space; three health science research labs; and two open concept research labs for chemistry and biology. The build out will allow course offerings to keep pace with enrollment increases and provide space for future research. Dr. Niedziela indicates, “This investment by the university in adding additional teaching and research space will allow the CSH to effectively manage its enrollment growth over the next decade.” The teaching labs will be well equipped thanks to Academic Affairs, which provided funds to furnish the new spaces with state of the art equipment, to support faculty research, provide for student research experiences, and create interdisciplinary research opportunities. The instrumentation will give students hands-on experience before they enter internships and the work force, actively applying the learning afforded to them by the CSH. Indicative of institutional support of the sciences at DePaul, these construction projects will direct more resources to the exceptional programs housed by the CSH. 7 FACILITATING FACULTY SUCCESS FACULTY FACILITATING RESEARCH, TEACHING, & SERVICE TEACHING, RESEARCH, Facilitating Faculty Success New faculty hires are well-equipped to succeed at DePaul’s College of Science and Health by participating in a series of monthly meetings throughout the academic year under the New Faculty Seminar program.
