Dr. Denise Seabert, whose research and academic background is in health education and teacher preparation, has been named dean of the College of Health and Human Services at California State University, Fresno (Fresno State). Seabert has served as dean of the Usha Kundu, MD College of Health at the University of West Florida, in Pensacola, since July 2018. At the college, Seabert helped build strong community connections and partnerships that allowed the university to develop a grassroots effort to address the health needs of people in the community — an initiative she plans to continue at Fresno State.
“I’m thrilled that Dean Denise Seabert will lead the College of Health and Human Services. Dean Seabert is a visionary and experienced leader,” said Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at Fresno State. “I’m confident that her passion for excellence will create great synergy within the college, and will in turn build strong bridges of collaboration and support with our community partners. Her visionary leadership will be transformational, especially during these times.”
“I believe my work helps me as a leader to help others think about teaching — how to improve their teaching, try new approaches,” Seabert said. “I have a strong connection to evaluation and assessment, which is critical. Those are strengths I can use to help build capacity in our college, to help faculty grow their teaching skills especially during these challenging times.”
