Nicole Henley

Dr. Henley is an Associate Professor, and the Coordinator for the Health Services Administration Program, in the Department of Health Science and Human Ecology at California State University, San Bernardino.  She holds a Ph.D. in Health Services from UCLA and an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She is committed to the “Each One, Teach One” philosophy, which is rooted in student-centered pedagogy, and assists students in becoming independent thinkers, problem-solvers, and lifetime learners.

Dr. Henley’s research and culturally-responsive evaluation work are centered around the social determinants of health framework and focuses on health equity for vulnerable populations (homeless and formerly incarcerated individuals). She serves on numerous community boards and describes herself as a “servant-leader”, passionate about assisting others in achieving their goals and committed to leaving a legacy for future generations.

In 2019, she endowed the Evelyn Bronson Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater to assist first-generation, Black students during their academic journey.
