Mount St. Joseph University - Exercise Science and Integrative Health

03/19/2026

Today is the Feast of St. Joseph - Founders Day for the Mount St. Joseph University - Exercise Science and Integrative Health program and the University as a whole. We celebrate our patron saint, husband to Mary, foster father to Jesus, and a model of humility, obedience, and guardianship. We honor the work of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati in the development of their sponsored ministries and their commitment to serve Cincinnati.

Please consider donating to the School of Health Sciences and designate your gift to the Department of ESIH. Gifts will be designated to improve our Exercise Science lab and the professional development funds for our EIM Club members.
