缅北轮奸is now smoke and vape free!
Inspired by the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, 缅北轮奸 is committed to promoting a healthy and safe environment
for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. On July 1, 2019, our campuses became smoke
and vape free. Smoke-free policies are becoming a standard to foster a healthy collegiate
environment, with the goal of reducing the health risks related to smoking and secondhand
smoke for the campus community.
