Humans of the U: Dr. Sherrá Watkins'

"In Student Affairs, we are constantly evolving based on the needs of our students. We gather and analyze data to determine whether there should be any additional services for students, and we work hard to ensure students are aware of the services available to them on campus. In Student Health and Wellness in particular, we want to make sure students have the health literacy to help them navigate the healthcare system upon leaving the U."
