EIU College of Health and Human Services

Wolf Outstanding Service Award

The Wolf Outstanding Service Award was established during the 2021-2022 academic year to honor and celebrate an annual recipient committed to applied learning through service to the department, college, community, and/or profession. The award will be annually presented to a CEHHS faculty member who has enthusiastically contributed superior service while consistently promoting personal, community, and global health. The award is made possible through the generous support of Dale and Deb Wolf, who dedicated the majority of their professional careers to the success of Eastern Illinois University: Dale as Director of Admissions for over 20 years, and Deb as a tenured faculty member in the Department of Physical Education (now KSR). They share a continuing passion for service to university, community, and profession, and the college is grateful for their continued investment and support!

Congratulations to Dr. Aimee Janssen-Robinson, 2026 award recipient!

Dr. Janssen-Robinson is faculty in the Department of Public Health and Nutrition and was selected for this award due to her remarkable service. Dr. Janssen-Robinson has contributed to multiple campus-wide initiatives; serves on a diverse range of university committees; and is engaged in professional service at local, state, and national levels. Whether Dr. Janssen-Robinson is serving as co-advisor for Eta Sigma Gamma or serving as Communications Chair for the Mid-America College Health Association, Dr. Janssen-Robinson's colleagues emphasized that she "shows up prepared, engaged, and invested every single time." CEHHS is grateful for Dr. Janssen-Robinson's exemplary service and for setting a high standard of excellence.
