🏀 Big shoutout to String Theory student Savannah Iamurri, featured in the South Philly Review for her incredible athletic performance! Savannah's talent on the court is making waves—check out the full article to see why she's one to watch. Way to represent, Savannah! 🤩

Iamurri to the rescue at String Theory Perhaps the only thing larger than Savannah Iamurri’s love of sports is her passion for saving animals.
