Support the Future of CMU’s DHA Program

Dear CMU Doctor of Health Administration Alumni and Friends,

It is an exciting and transformative time at Central Michigan University. With the appointment of a new university president, new leadership in the College of Health Professions, and an ongoing search for the next Director of the Doctor of Health Administration Program, we are entering a season of renewed vision and opportunity.

As alumni and friends of CMU's DHA Program, you understand the strength, resilience, and leadership that define our community. As we are preparing to welcome the next Director, we invite you to help us usher in this new chapter with a powerful wave of alumni support through engagement and giving to the DHA Director's Fund.

Two of our distinguished alumni, Dr. Mark Taylor and Dr. Beth Taylor, are deeply passionate about the continued excellence of our program. In an inspiring show of commitment, they have generously pledged to match every dollar donated to the DHA Director's Fund—up to $10,000. This matching opportunity doubles the impact of your gift and demonstrates the power of alumni investing in our program.

Please consider supporting the DHA Director's Fund through the link below:

CMU's DHA Program is building the future by educating the next generation of health care leaders. Your support strengthens our ability to enhance student experiences, support faculty innovation, and ensure the program's continued growth and excellence.

Beyond financial support, we are launching a "friend-raising" campaign to expand and energize our alumni network. We are seeking greater participation from graduates who are willing to share their time, talents, and treasures with the program—whether through mentorship, guest speaking, networking, or philanthropic support. Your involvement sends a powerful message to current and prospective students about the value and impact of the DHA degree.

We would also love to reconnect with you. Please take a moment to email Dr. Naomi DeShore your updated contact information so we can share meaningful opportunities for engagement and keep you informed about the exciting developments ahead. desho1ne@cmich.edu

Together, we can ensure that the next chapter of CMU's DHA Program is one of strength, innovation, and continued leadership in health administration.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to Central Michigan University and to the bright future of the DHA Program.

Sincerely,

Dr. Naomi DeShore, President
