The School of Health and Human Services has evolved to become the College of Health and Wellness Professions.
This new name reflects our mission to prepare students to be leaders, scholars and professionals in promoting optimal health and wellness in our communities. The college is focused on delivering inter-professional education where students learn from experts in their field. Throughout their course of study, students explore a range of disciplines, so they gain a greater understanding of their role in providing care to individuals and families, while meeting broader community needs.

According to a 2020 report from the Centers for Disease Control, an estimated 1 in 54 children in the United States is currently diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. Autism affects people from all socioeconomic groups and ethnicities. We have invited a panel of faculty to discuss their expertise in the research, treatment and advocacy related to autism. We will provide information about current and future initiatives at St. Cloud State University and in the broader community to support families, as well as relevant educational and career paths to support people with autism and their families.
Please watch the presentation to find out more about current and future initiatives at St. Cloud State University.
