"It's exciting for our wellness center to be included in this ranking," said Kim Grieve, Ph.D., vice president and dean of student services. "USD has so much to offer, from world-class academics to state-of-the-art facilities. We're extremely proud of the quality of student life here at USD and the opportunities available to our students both in and out of the classroom."
