Laurie Hardman is the creator/director of the College Dogs, a program bringing trained/certified/registered therapy dog teams to college and university campuses. Since its inception in 2010, over 5,000 students, faculty and staff have been visited by the teams at the University of Washington (residence halls, School of Business, Medicine, Law), Seattle Pacific University, Cornish College of the Arts, South Seattle Community College, Northwest University and The Art Institute of Seattle.

Teams are all volunteers working without remuneration.  Our only request is that parking be provided free of charge.
