The mission of the University of Iowa Department of Health and Human Physiology Advisory Board is to serve as a dynamic group of alumni experts who engage with faculty, staff, professionals, alumni, and current students by providing insights on trends in their fields, reviewing curriculum and strategic planning efforts, and identifying opportunities for collaboration.  

Board members participate in three meetings each year—held in the fall, spring, and summer—either on the University of Iowa campus or virtually. In addition to meetings, members may also participate in additional projects or committee work based on their interests and availability. Active membership is structured as a one-year term, renewable annually for up to three years, allowing for both continuity and new perspectives.  

Through their service, members help shape the future of HHP, support the student experience, and strengthen the department’s commitment to excellence.

HHP thanks these distinguished board members for their participation and support.
