Dean Scott Lephart says that other than Commencement, the Faculty and Staff Awards are his favorite day of the year. 

And — for the first time in three years — the College of Health Sciences was able to celebrate this day in person. It made everything even more special. 

"And this is a special place because of you," Lephart said. 

He went on to describe why he thinks the College is the best place to work on campus — and ultimately, he says, it always comes down to the people. 

"I want to acknowledge our wonderful faculty and staff, and say thank you for everything you have done. This event is for all of you," he said. "Thank you for joining us today to celebrate you and your colleagues."
