"To serve ALL families and develop human potential"

The mission of CEHSP is to prepare students for careers in education and human service fields. To achieve this, we dedicate ourselves to the goal of excellence in learning, teaching, research, advising and service. We strive to engage and empower students, seeking to develop their potential, preparing them to interact with diverse communities at home and around the world, and adding depth to their educational experience. Our motto - "To serve ALL families and develop human potential" - keeps this mission before us.
