Week of June 17, 2024

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends, 

We end this week on an extremely sad note as we mourn the sudden loss of Mr. Rich Stankovis, our beloved Safety and Security Manager. Rich was not only a dedicated and kind-hearted member of our Salus family but also a pillar of strength and reliability. His unwavering commitment to our community's safety and well-being has left an indelible mark on all of us. Rich will be dearly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to be touched by his presence. 

Here are some items of interest for you to read:

RESIDENTS’ DAY: The ninth annual Residents’ Day at Salus was a major success, welcoming both on- and off-campus residents back to the Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, campus to celebrate the residents’ near completion of their programs. Click here to read more. 

SALUS AWARDS GALA: The 8th Annual Salus Awards Gala will be held this evening, June 14, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at The Fuge in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The event will recognize those who have gone above and beyond to uplift the Salus Community. This event is to celebrate those awarded and to enjoy a night of food, dancing, and fun. Look for a future story on our website about the event. 

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: She always knew that she wanted to do something in the medical field, so when Connor Warren, MSOT ‘19, considered her career options, she chose a profession that melded her interests into one occupation. Among those interests were teaching yoga and being creative through art and photography. And everything combined together equaled Occupational Therapy (OT).

RESEARCH MEETING EXPERIENCE: At the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, 75 students and faculty members from the Drexel University School of Education delivered 51 presentations over four days. Click here to read what the experience was like for Drexel students and how the University prepared them for their presentations. 

FINAL THOUGHTS: In memory of Rich, below are a few photos of the campus at different times of the year, which he loved:
