Le Well HPE Events and News

LE WELL was pleased to host a special Wednesday wellness workshop on the patio outside the interprofessional education building on April 24.  Students from health professions programs enjoyed popsicles from Locopops and had the opportunity to spend time socializing with each other and with dogs and their owners graciously provided by Pet Partners. 

 

Special thanks to Dr. Melanie Bonner for making this event possible!  Best wishes to all of our students in their studies and endeavors.

One evening after Dean’s dinner, second-year students in the MD program, Dorothy Gheorghiu and Dave Salven, were walking across the Anderson Street bridge when they recognized a person in distress and three other people standing near him. Quickly assessing the situation as dangerous and recognizing the need for action – and human connection – they acted.
