Helble ’82. “Students will gain knowledge and insights that come from combining the core principles of business with an in-depth knowledge of the multiple determinants of health, the health system and health policy,” he said. “These future leaders will better understand and address the vital conditions that shape community health in different areas and different populations.” Currently, students in the College of Business may complete any of 10 minors in the College of Health, but the new IBH program will offer much more in-depth training in health policy and health economics than is possible by combining a bachelor’s in business with a College of Health minor. Likewise, students in the College of Health can, and do, declare a Dual Degree program or a minor in the College of Business. The IBH program will offer students more solid grounding in the business tools needed to solve complex health challenges in society. not only on college campuses, but nationally and globally. I think a lot of people are questioning where we are collectively headed and how we can make changes so that we have something more positive on the horizon for all of us.” Change makers who were interviewed include local community leaders (page 8) and business owners, educators and artists. Students will continue to conduct interviews throughout the year, so new change makers will be added throughout the exhibition. —Christina Tatu
