The U of A is a leading teaching and research institution with a long history of excellence.

Under the leadership of the University's 14th President and Vice Chancellor, Bill Flanagan, the University of Alberta continues to move forward with signature distinction as one of the world's most respected public universities, at its foundation lie talented people - students, faculty, and staff - who with their creativity, ingenuity and drive, join in advancing human knowledge and pursuing scientific discovery for the benefit of all.

The University seeks to foster an inclusive culture in which people excel through exchange and collaboration, enriched by the diversity of individuals, groups, disciplines, perspectives, approaches, and questions that characterize its community.

The university's new operating model consists of a hybrid of centralized and decentralized services which promotes consistency, avoids duplication, and supports a one-university approach and service culture.

Core to the model is the establishment of the university's three new colleges:

the _College of Health Sciences_, the _College of Natural and Applied Sciences_, and the _College of Social Sciences and Humanities_.

The colleges leverage excellence within all departments and faculties to improve both academic and administrative performance as One University.

The College of Health Sciences brings together the combined strength of all our health sciences faculties and schools, enabling a new level of interdisciplinary health science research and teaching that advances the full spectrum of human health and wellness in individuals and communities around the world.

The college includes 6 faculties _(_Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation_, _Medicine and Dentistry_, _Nursing_, _Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences_, _Public Health_, and _Rehabilitation Medicine_)_, more than 770 faculty members, and more than 7,200 undergraduate and graduate students.
