Professional Directory Launches!
You've asked for it and now it's here! The Alumni Relations Department has created an online professional directory of Life University Alumni & Friends to serve as a resource for the general public seeking expertise in their local area. The directory provides an easy-to-use tool that features listing based on city, state and zip code. In addition, the public can also locate an individual based on their profession, techniques, therapies or patient education.
