That place will have the look and feel of a real hospital instead of just being a mock-up.

We are actively cultivating relationships with people who might be in a position to help us that way. Opening a college doesn't happen very often, so this is a rare opportunity for someone to put their name on something pretty important.

The university master plan calls for a Health and Human Services building at some point, but it's not anywhere near the top of the list right now. It will be a few years before we have enough students to make the case that we need our own building.

We want to show the community that there are things happening at our college that are directly benefiting the community. This will also allow our students to interact directly with the public.

The purpose ... is to produce students who can help meet crucial state and regional needs. The Health and Human Services College will help reduce the scarcity of health care professionals and social workers in North County.

They've let them define us and that's our mistake.
