This past weekend, we celebrated the past and future Schweitzer Fellows. We are so grateful for the opportunity to address health disparities with our students thanks to the support of ECU Health and the NC Albert Schweitzer Fellowship Program.

ASDA students Camryn Bolick and Lilly Gruebel joined the “Wellness Garden Clean-up Party” to help refresh our planters behind Ross Hall.
