Students, Faculty, Residents, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,
Greetings from a hot and steamy Elkins Park! Summer has finally
arrived with lots of heat and humidity. Ah, the east coast!
Even with all the crazy weather, we haven’t lost sight of the
fact that this month Salus is celebrating our 10th anniversary. Yup, the
University is 10 years old! We’ve commemorated this with fun photo shoots at
both our East Oak Lane and Elkins Park campuses. Check out our Facebook page to see some of them.
It’s a pretty neat time for us as we also prepare to celebrate
the 100th anniversary of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry next year. To
help celebrate PCO’s 100th anniversary, at the alumni reception we hosted at
Optometry’s Meeting in Denver last week, I challenged all alumni and friends to
consider donating $100 to commemorate PCO’s 100 years to help raise scholarship
dollars. It’s an idea that I think we should spread that idea around.
Closer to home, Caitlyn Foy, DOT, MOTR/L, has been accepted into
the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Academic Leadership Institute
where only 25 OTs in the country are accepted. Congratulations Caitlyn!
Finally, our country was built on courage, sacrifice,
innovation, a willingness to welcome all newcomers, imagination and an
unbeatable will and determination to get things done. As we prepare to
celebrate the Nation’s 242nd birthday next Wednesday, please
take some time to consider what that means to you and to remember the many
sacrifices that were made to ensure we have the freedoms we enjoy today.
I want to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July and
ask that you take some time to recharge your batteries and have some fun.
Be safe and look out for one another!
Mike
