What is it we stand for?
What principles guide our profession? What will we fight for? Where is our philosophical line in the sand which will not be crossed?
In discussing these questions, the UHPA Outreach Committee began a months-long process to develop this first release of UHPA Faculty Statement of Principles, based on four key commitments:
- Academic Excellence
- Success of Our Students
- Serving the Community
- Supporting the Local Economy
The UHPA Faculty Statement of Principles was developed in a collaborative effort including the UHPA Board of Directors, the UHPA Faculty Representatives, and our professional staff.
Nominate your colleagues (or yourself) that exemplify community service
We all know that UHPA members make innumerable contributions to the community and one of our goals is to make sure the general public sees this as well. Do you have good examples of how UHPA faculty have positively impacted the community (e.g. vaccination help, coastal preservation work, Economic forecast by the UHARI etc) ? Tell us about it via this nomination form. We plan on regularly publishing those nominations and highlighting the standout examples.
Feedback, please
We envision this first release to be just that: the first of many revisions based on continued input and feedback from a wider audience of UHPA members. We invite all UHPA members to give us feedback and suggestions via this quick online form and look forward to the responses.
