A Warm Welcome to SPH-B
Executive Associate Dean
Hello! I'm NiCole Keith, Executive Associate Dean. On behalf of the leadership team in the Deans’ Office at the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington, I welcome you. Every day, we have the privilege of working at the intersection of wellness and learning and I am honored to be leading our vibrant community! While I have an extensive background in exercise science and health promotion, serving Indiana University as an educator and administrator has been a cornerstone of my career. My ongoing research focuses on cultivating—and communicating about—healthier outcomes for all people throughout their lives and I will continue to collaborate with our SPH-B community and partners to pursue this important mission.
We at SPH-B are a truly world-class team. Producing groundbreaking and award-winning teaching, research, and service, our dedicated faculty members are a precious resource to our students, our university, Indiana, the nation, and the world. The members of our staff are professionals who are equipped with the integrity and strength necessary to help our school deliver on its commitment to "promote health among all people…through integrated multidisciplinary approaches to scientific endeavors, creative activities, educational practices, and community engagement."
Whether you are familiar with the School of Public Health-Bloomington (officially renamed in 2012); our former incarnation as the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER); or are learning about us for the first time, I am thrilled that you are here. I welcome you to learn more. And I encourage you to seek wellness in every aspect of your life. Time invested in a healthier body, mind, family, and world is an incredibly worthwhile endeavor.
Sincerely,
NiCole R. Keith, Ph.D.
Executive Associate Dean
