Did you know Marc Zimmerman has held the position of HBHE Chair longer than any other Chair in U-M HBHE's past? If you graduated in the last decade, he was likely your Chair.
Effective January 1, Marc will step down and we are thrilled to welcome Cathleen Connell to the role of HBHE Chair.

5 Tips for Self-care and Work-life Balance, From HBHE Alumni
1. Take time for yourself
Do things for yourself whether it’s taking up interests outside of work or having fun weekends!
“Have fun on your weekends and don't schedule meetings for Monday morning if you can help it!” – Lillian Madrigal (’13)
“My tip for young professionals, especially those who don't have children and are often (implicitly or explicitly) expected to stay late because they don't have children, is to sign up for art, meditation, or exercise classes right after regular work hours. That way, not only are you taking care of yourself, but you can say "sorry, I can't stay late tonight, I've got a class." – Emily Renda (’09)

The Art of Compassionate Leadership: MPH Student Thanks Leseliey Rose Welch, HBHE Alum

| Leseliey Rose Welch, MPH, MBA |
About a month ago I found myself sitting at an enormous table, surrounded by stakeholders from every major LGBT and HIV advocacy organization in Southeast Michigan, co-facilitating what felt like one of the most important meetings of my life. The meeting’s purpose was to discuss the need and possibilities for creating a LGBT health center in the Detroit Metro Area. In front of every person at the table laid a copy of a policy brief that I authored, which highlighted the need for LGBT-centered health care in Detroit.
