National University Partners with YMCA to Launch “Nest Healthy Learning Center”

On the Spotlight on the Community podcast, National University President Dr. Mark D. Milliron and Executive Vice President Dr. Chris Graham join YMCA of San Diego County President and CEO Todd Tibbits to discuss the launch of NU’s Nest Healthy Learning Center. The innovative partnership between NU and the nation’s largest YMCA creates a co-learning environment that promotes health, education, and community connection.

Dr. Milliron and Dr. Graham share how The Nest aligns with National University’s Whole Human Education™ approach, integrating academic, career, and family support to help students balance learning with life. “The Nest is about providing spaces where students and families can thrive together,” says Dr. Milliron. “By partnering with the YMCA, we’re creating environments that make learning more accessible, connected, and supportive for the entire community.”
