Hello from the Senior Associate Dean of Academic and Faculty Affairs
Welcome to the Office of Academic and Faculty Affairs (OAFA) for the Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona!
Here in OAFA, we oversee the development of new degree programs in the college, even as we constantly evaluate and improve our existing degree programs (both in-person and online) based on the most recent research and science. We also support our Office of Student Affairs (OSA) to help recruit top students and foster the success of our students once they are enrolled in the college. In addition, we work in many ways to support faculty success and advancement in the college.
