We had so much fun last Thursday night at Get on Board Day! We switched things up and traded our cold brew for lemonade, and it was just as much of a hit!

13 GALLONS of lemonade later… and 100s of students now know about The CRC ! 💛

Meet Savannah! 👋

One of our staff Therapists, Savannah has been part of our team since 2020. She started as an intern and, thankfully, never left!

🎓 She earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Alabama and is currently working on her PhD dissertation at UA.

📚 When she’s not supporting students, you can probably find Savannah with a good book. She has a personal library collection that she considers one of her greatest treasures. As an avid traveler, she has visited 40 of the 50 states, more than 25 national parks, and 16 countries. She says she probably would have a travel blog in another life! 🌎Savannah is also an avid sports fan, especially football, hockey, and baseball.

We’re so lucky to have Savannah as part of our team. 💙
