Students,
Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,
Good
morning! Temperatures have moderated a
bit which has been a very welcome change!
As we end this week,
I’m excited to announce the launch of the public phase of the University's
fundraising campaign in celebration of its founding College, the Pennsylvania
College of Optometry (PCO). Originally announced at the Centennial Gala in
April, Focus on the Future: The Centennial Campaign aims to raise $5
million by the end of 2020 in order to provide scholarship and other academic support
to our students, healthcare support to our region, and allow us to continue to
impact and influence the future of health care delivery, education and
professional practice well into our next 100 years. In support of the public phase and in
celebration, the University’s Office of Institutional Advancement has created a
national series of events – entitled Centennial Tour – which officially
announces Focus on Our Future: The
Centennial Campaign in 16 cities over the course of 90 days. To learn more
and check out the Centennial Tour stops visit our website by clicking here.
On campus, our
Audiology Summer Workshops are wrapping up this weekend with a “Hearing
Conservation in Music and Industry” workshop. Check out this testimonial from
an AuD student who attended the first session...
It’s that time again
to visit the Learning Resource Center (LRC) for Pet Therapy! On Wednesday, 31
July, from noon to 1 p.m., therapy dogs from Comfort Caring Canines will be in
the LRC, so stop by if you can! I know
you’ll relax immediately after petting these dogs!
As we approach finals
weeks, be on the lookout for our bagel breakfast mornings at the LRC, that will
be coming up shortly. That’s a new Salus
tradition, brought to you by the Office of Institutional Advancement, that has
really taken off!
Good luck to those of
you who are starting your finals next week. I know that some of you won’t be taking finals until the following
weeks, but I wish you all successful studying as you prepare. Take some time to give your brain a break
this weekend and make sure you’re eating healthy and drinking lots of water to
stay hydrated. It’s going to be sunny,
so don’t forget the sunscreen if you’re laying outside studying – or whatever. Have a great weekend - be safe and look out
for one another.
Mike
