Who's Who in Health & Wellness

“SUF takes students’ physical and mental health needs, and their safety concerns seriously. My job at SUF is to make sure that students have access to the best possible health professionals in the Florence area, and to encourage all students to engage in safe behavior. As with our mission, I put academic achievement and cultural involvement as top priorities, but realize that students can only participate in all that we have to offer when they are physically and mentally well... and safe!”
