About Us

Department Mission Statement: The Shreiber Family Pet Therapy Program at Rowan University’s mission is to establish a program providing a variety of Animal-Assisted Interventions (including Animal-Assisted Therapy [AAT], and Animal-Assisted Activities [AAI]) bringing certified therapy animals to visit with Rowan University’s diverse student body, starting with Rowan University's campuses and affiliates) to support student health and well-being. The program partners with the other departments in the Wellness Center, including: Emergency Medical Services (EMS); Healthy Campus Initiatives (HCI); Counseling & Psychological Services (CPS); and Student Health Services (SHS). We also partner with other offices on campus, in particular, students who may be otherwise underrepresented. These partnership include: the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) [such as: the Social Justice, Inclusion & Conflict Resolution Center (SJICR)]; Academic Affairs (such as: Disability Services, and, the Autism PATH Program; Military Services; and, Admissions); the Early Childhood Demonstration Center; the College of Humanities & Social Sciences (CHSS); Honors College; and the upcoming Rowan School of Veterinary Medicine. Partnerships also include student clubs such as: the Pre-Vet Club, and the Animal Advocacy Club.
