The College of Public Health (CPH) is a college within the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia, United States.
The College of Public Health (CPH) officially opened as University of Georgia's 15th college in January 2005 after receiving approval from the UGA University Council in September 2004 and the Georgia Board of Regents in October 2005. It was the first public health school created within the University System of Georgia. [1] The dean of the school is Phillip L. Williams, Ph.D.. He has been the only dean in the short history of the school. He served as interim dean from the initial opening in 2005 until being named to the position permanently on November 10, 2006. Williams was also on the internal committee that proposed the formation of the college. [2] The Institute of Gerontology also joined the CPH in July 2005. [3]
The new college was founded to house various research, faculty and outreach programs in one college so that public health needs would be better addressed. [1] [2] The Department of Environmental Health Science in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior in the College of Education were moved to CPH. New departments were created including: the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Department of Health Policy and Management. Also since 2005, the College of Public Health has expanded to include the Institute for Disaster Management and the Center for Global Health.
Upon opening, the Master of Public Health (MPH) graduate degree program initially incubated by UGA Biomedical and Health Sciences Institute was moved into the College of Public Health. [4]
In 2012, the College of Public Health began its move the UGA Health Sciences Campus, established on the site of the former Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS) on Prince Avenue in Athens. The property was deeded to UGA by the U.S. Department of Education in April 2011. In March 2012, faculty and staff of the College of Public Health's Center for Global Health moved into a section of Wright Hall that was previously used as a conference center by the NSCS. The Center joined two other CPH academic units, which moved into renovated space in Miller Hall that January: the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and the Institute for Evidence-Based Health Professions Education. [5] [6] In October 2013, the administrative offices of the College, including the Dean's Office moved Rhodes Hall. The Hudson Clinic facility, utilized by the NSCS as a health and dental clinic, will become the new home of CPH's Institute of Gerontology in August 2014. Wright Hall, a former NSCS lodging facility, is currently being repurposed for the office and research needs of Health Promotion and Behavior and Health Policy and Management departments. [7]
