Affinity Networks

Supporting excellence, improving processes


Affinity networks are self-organized groups who come together to support our translational teams within the College of Health Solutions. These networks, which originate at the College of Health Solutions but can include faculty from other colleges, help with designing methodologies, developing best practices and working to improve teams’ techniques and processes. They serve as resources, providing ideas and advancing research methodologies, excellence in teaching, community engagement or a functional area of the college.
