It is December in Ann Arbor, football season has come to a close, the lights are up on Main Street, and the snow has started to fall. HBHE Students are lining up internships, finishing projects and exams, and getting ready to head home for the winter holidays. The renovations of the building are complete (almost!) and the faculty,staff and students are settling into their new office space.

...And it is time for the next issue of the.Link.

Staying Connected
Stay in touch! Your fellow alumni want to know where you are and what you are doing. Let us know what's new!

On a final note, we are expanding our HBHE alumni website. We want to develop a space where you can connect with fellow HBHE alumni, discuss current health behavior issues and trends, learn about HBHE faculty research and new courses being offered at the school, and much more. 

We'd love to hear your ideas about what should be included on the website and how we can help you stay in touch with HBHE! Please send your suggestions and comments to hbhe.link@umich.edu. We hope to hear from you soon!

Happy Holidays!
