Working Groups
The Designing 澳门六合彩开奖app’s Future working groups serve as dedicated advisory groups that work collaboratively with students, staff, faculty, alums, and other key stakeholders to develop focused, ambitious, actionable steps to guide the Western University of Health Sciences university-wide plan.
Assessment
