Following is a list of some of the Health Education PhD/MPH alums. Feel free to contact them if you should have any questions.
Dixie L. Dennis, Ph.D., CHES |
 Because of the expert, dedicated, and nationally known health educators who mentored me during my years at SIUC, my professional and personal life was/is enriched more than I thought possible. The Southern hospitality that permeates through the department and university allowed me, a non-traditional student, to believe that “I can do it!” |
Michele L. Pettit, PhD, MPH, CHES
|
 "I am very thankful for the quality education and professional experiences I received at SIU. The faculty are nationally renowned, the program has a rich history, and the campus is beautiful. I am proud to call myself a Saluki!" |
Karl L. Larson, PhD |
 "At Southern, the faculty make the difference. Mentoring occurs naturally, with students quickly finding those faculty that can guide them in personal areas of interest. Often, we don't realize the impact of those who are mentoring us during graduate school, but if you speak to Southern Alums, they'll tell you right away how the faculty influenced their choices and pathways within the profession and oftentimes, their personal lives. When you come here, you become one of the Southern family. In the health education arena, it means something to be a Saluki." |
Jennifer Skinner, MPH |
 "I am so thankful for the experiences and education I received at SIU. The program and professors prepared me for the health education profession and my future. I am proud to come from SIU." |
Kimberly M. Coleman, PhD, MPH, CHES Assistant Professor of Community Health |
 "I came to SIU because I wanted to build on my MPH - Health Behavior & Health Education experience (at another institution) in terms of hands-on application of health education practice and freedom in regards to my doctoral research. The classes were interesting and challenging. The professors were knowledgeable, accessible, and true leaders in the profession. Finally, the dissertation process was one that, although stressful at times, I can look back on with joy and pride. I am proud to be a Saluki and encourage you to give this program some serious consideration." |
