| Office of Academic Affairs |
 Dr. Peggy Leatt At the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, we know that health care leaders need a
variety of skills and knowledge to be prepared for all of the new developments
that lie ahead. That is why the Office of Academic Affairs is committed to the pursuit of excellence in all of
the School's academic activities. We
ensure that public health courses meet the changing needs of local and global communities and high standards of integrity and rigor.
Our
success is built upon the stature of our faculty. That is, to be effective, the School needs a cadre of
individuals, irrespective of gender, race, or ethnicity, who are dedicated to
creative and innovative approaches to education. While the School is committed to attracting
individuals who can achieve just that, the Office of Academic Affairs has been
entrusted with facilitating their professional growth.
The
responsibilities of the associate dean for Academic Affairs include
being
accountable for the quality of academic programs in the Gillings School of
Global Public Health. It includes
- serving in oversight capacity for
the Appointment, Promotions and Tenure as well as the Academic Programs
Committee
- encouraging interdisciplinary
approaches to education and use of innovative teaching and learning
methodologies
- representing
the School on University-wide committees related to
Academic
Affairs (UNC Academic Plan)
- representing the School on related committees of professional associations such

Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) and the College on
Education for
Public Health (CEPH)
- ensuring that our School
meets the
newly revised criteria for CEPH accreditation and to oversee the
preparation of
the self-study documentation.
