Greetings from a hot and humid Elkins Park! It’s been another busy week on campus, even with the heat! Good luck to all those taking their mid-terms today!
Salus recently welcomed our new Safety and Security director, Carlos Rodriguez. With more than 14 years of experience in law enforcement, Carlos has worked for 11 years in higher education as a supervisor/administrator for Campus Public Safety. Be sure to give him a warm welcome when you see him around campus! Read more at salus.edu/carlos.
Later this summer, thanks to the work of several of our faculty and staff members, we will break ground on an outdoor Sensory Garden Environment that will be used as a teaching and clinical tool sometime late next semester! The garden will add value to the teaching and learning environment for each of the seven programs within the University’s College of Education and Rehabilitation (CER), as well as provide strategic outreach for children and adults within the local community who have sensory deficits. The garden, which will be located in the front of the Hafter Center will really add a great deal to our campus. Read more at salus.edu/sensorygarden.
This month, The Speech-Language Institute (SLI) celebrates its four year anniversary! Since opening its doors, SLI has served both adults and children with a wide variety of speech, language, communication, feeding and swallowing disorders at no cost to our clients. We are so proud of SLI's dedicated staff and passionate students and I look forward to many more successful years of caring for clients at this important clinic.

Congratulations to the Osborne College of Audiology on the successful completion of their Cerumen Management educational session on Tuesday and the standardized patient workshop on Wednesday. Both were extremely successful! Changes to the Tuesday learning lab session allowed for the students to work in smaller groups with more faculty and to have three hours of intense hands-on training. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their ears and to our OCA faculty and students for their great job in executing these important clinical and academic exercises.
I'd like to wish Renee Campbell a happy retirement! Renee has worked as a Patient Service Representative at The Eye Institute for over 30 years. While we're sad to see her go, we are also excited for her as she starts this new chapter in her life. Good luck Renee! Read more at salusuhealth.com/renee-campbell.
In light of the most recent political discord that has been prominent in the news and on social media I want people to know that we at Salus strongly value the diversity and inclusion of people from all nationalities, religions and beliefs that have helped to shape America into the greatest democracy the world has seen. Immigrants form the basis of our society and have enriched our country throughout our 243 years. Consequently, we are melting pot of cultures and ideals. That must be celebrated and not denigrated.
Finally, just a reminder that the weather guessers are telling us to expect record breaking heat this weekend with temperatures approaching 100+ on Saturday. To that end, please ensure you are well hydrated, especially if you’re doing outside activities. Try to stay cool and beat the heat! Look out for one another and be safe.
Mike
