A Message from the Dean

Welcome to the College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP) at Drexel University. As I step into the role of dean for CNHP, I am honored to continue the legacy of excellence that has defined our college for years. Our college is dedicated to preparing students for impactful careers that shape the future of health care, wellness and food systems. CNHP is at the forefront of transforming care, preparing students to enhance health, advance health equity and improve quality of life for individuals in Philadelphia and across the globe.

The CNHP faculty and professional staff are deeply committed to a collaborative, team-based approach to education. This dedication ensures that our students are rigorously prepared for successful careers as leaders and change agents, addressing social and structural determinants that limit many from achieving their full health potential.

I invite you to explore all that our vibrant community has to offer, from our renowned faculty and professional staff to our cutting-edge programs and facilities. Together, we are educating leaders who will make a profound impact in their communities and beyond. As dean, I am committed to building on the strong foundation of our college and driving our mission forward.

Thank you for visiting, and we look forward to being a part of your academic journey.

Emily A. Roper, PhD
Dean, College of Nursing and Health Professions
