Katharine Mooney

Director, Health Promotion & Prevention

I help build a community of care, health, and wellbeing through my role at SHS. Once a resident assistant and BU student of public health, I gravitate to creative and community-based approaches to substance use prevention, mental health promotion, and sexual wellbeing. The Condom Fairy program is a great example! What I love about being at Student Health Services is working alongside an energized and interdisciplinary team that’s wholly committed to supporting BU students.
