Biographical or Historical Information
The first incarnation of the Public Health Education department was founded in 1893 as the Department of Physiology and Physical Culture. By 1902, the department divided into the departments of Physiology, which dealt with physical education, and Hygiene, which focused on hygiene and simple biology. The two departments turned into two divisions of the Department of Health in 1920, and the department added a medical division in 1923. The Department of Health merged with other departments to create the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation in 1964. By 1966, Health Education became a major. The founding of Public Health Education into its own department occurred in 1983.

Offensive Language Statement
The UNC Greensboro University Libraries collects, preserves, and makes accessible unique and historical materials for learning and research. The nature of historical materials is such that some material may represent positions, norms, and values that are offensive and objectionable. These materials represent the opinions and actions of their creators. By providing access to these records in our reading room and through our digital collections, we recognize that archives and rare books can play a vital role in holding those creators accountable and in helping us learn from the past.
Our finding aids and other collection descriptions may occasionally re-use language provided by creators or former holders of the materials, but we strive to place outdated or offensive terminology in context. That said, we recognize that we may not always make the right decision and welcome feedback from all sources so we can learn and adjust our practices. Please contact us at scua@uncg.edu if you encounter problematic language in our finding aids or other collection description. We will review the language and, as appropriate, update it in a way that balances preservation of the original context with our ongoing commitment to describing materials with respectful and inclusive language.
