Caring is at the Core
“Professors at IUP work around the clock to ensure each student makes positive advancements and are there each step of the way to offer any needed additional support. The Safety Sciences program also provides opportunities to grow outside of the classroom as well and put learned knowledge to practice."
Drew Garverick '20, Health and Safety Representative, Chicagoland Market, PepsiCo
