WELCOME TO AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES
On behalf of American University of Health Science’s administration, faculty, students, and staff, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the University. We are pleased that you have joined our family whose beliefs are inspired by faith in God and bringing to life its mission – AUHS is “a private Christian-based, minority-serving university of higher education, accomplished through the creation of a strong and caring academic environment where excellence, diversity, and the development of the entire person—mind, body and spirit—is addressed and where teaching/learning, research, service and scholarship is valued and supported”.
We integrate our Christian values of love and caring, justice and respect, and the holistic approach to “education, promotion of the intellectual, analytical and critical thinking abilities of its students, evidence-based knowledge, and service to our fellow man, and a commitment to life-long learning” in all that we do, plan, and accomplish at AUHS.
At American University of Health Sciences, we value diversity and inclusion in welcoming and teaching students of diverse backgrounds as we prepare them on how to influence policies and make a positive impact on society. As health care practitioners, researchers, and educators, we are committed to utilizing community-based interventions as a sustainable solution in addressing healthcare and socio-economic disparities.
We recognize and acknowledge that the foundation for our own existence is due to the Grace of God and that our belief in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the underlining realties for all the work and all the success we have today and shall ever know tomorrow.
We exist to educate diverse students from various ethnic fabrics and it is our aim through their imaginations, dreams and hopes that you and I hold, that we will be able to reshape a new paradigm of caregivers who realize that giving their best, surrendering themselves, offering their all will be the means by which the caregiver will truly obtain professional, spiritual and personal successes.
With my prayers and utmost confidence that you will find your new role and position at AUHS stimulating, challenging, and rewarding. We will leave behind footprints that will please God and a legacy that will change the lives of our students. Therefore, we empower ourselves through collaborative efforts and decision making that sustains our mission, growth of our AUHS, and student successes as shape them To Believe, To Learn, To Create, and To Succeed.
May God Bless You,
