Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni,
Board Members and Friends,
Greetings from Elkins Park where we are not
sure whether or not to start building an ark or buying more stock in sunscreen
companies – the weather has been that erratic!
While it’s been a short week, it’s also been a
busy week. Our summer semester kicked
off on Tuesday so we have a whole group of students both in our clinics as well
as on the Elkins Park campus. While
there were no midterms or finals yet (at least that I was aware of), the Learning
Resource Center was pretty well populated with students catching up a bit.
In
addition to that, a new art exhibit was installed in the Hafter Center by
Elynne Rosenfeld and her team. Titled "Under 20: Smallish Works by 6
Artists" the show features Florence Weisz, Sandra Benhaim, Nancy
Tabas, Louise Herring, Edna Santiago and Elynne Rosenfeld. All work is under 20
inches high or wide and priced between $50 and $750. It will hang all summer
and I strongly encourage you all to stop by and see it
On Saturday,
June 1, please support the PA 2020 and OT 2020 student service trip to
Guatemala by stopping by their car wash in the Elkins Park parking lot from 9am
- 1pm. Suggested donations are $10.
On Sunday
June 2, Salus will be participating in the Friends of High School Park's Arts
in the Park event in Elkins Park. Hosted from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm at High School
Park, the event will include local artists, all-day live music, crafts,
activities for kids and delicious food. This is well worth stopping by and checking out all the great stuff!
Next
Thursday and Friday we will be hosting the fourth annual Salus University
Resident's Day. Our residents will be lecturing on topics that include
glaucoma, ocular disease, as well as other ocular manifestations of systemic
disease.
Check
out our website to read one of our most recent Centennial stories about PCO's
third president, Dr. Norman Wallis at salus.edu/normanwallis. Dr. Wallis was good enough to spend time with our social media staff and
provided some very interesting insights into his vision for The Eye Institute
and PCO.
Finally, it looks like the rain may subside
for the weekend, so I encourage you to get out and enjoy some of the parks and
sights. I’m planning on heading out to
Forbidden Trail in Chestnut hill to get a 7-mile run in as part of my training
for the Berlin Marathon which takes place in late September. It’s been about 11 years since I’ve run a
marathon, so I thought it was about time to attempt another! Have a great weekend!
Mike
