Salus Weekly Update: Week of January 19, 2024

 

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

Greetings on this snowy morning as most of us work virtually from home. Even with the snow earlier in this short week, it’s been busy on campus between classes, labs and clinics all going full speed. It’s amazing how these shorter weeks often feel like they are really long!

As we prepare for today’s snow, here are some items that I hope will be of interest to you:

OPTOMETRY CAREER FAIR: The Bennett Career Services Center is hosting a Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) Career Fair on Sunday, January 21, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Hafter Student Community Center. Network with nearly 50 employers to learn about several career options for future graduates. Click here to register.

LEARN MORE ABOUT DR. O’SULLIVAN: Gerard (Gerry) O’Sullivan, PhD, joined the Salus University family in March of 2023 as interim provost and vice president of Academic Affairs (VPAA) after the retirement of Dr. Barry Eckert. Learn more about Dr. O’Sullivan’s expertise in higher education, and how it benefits Salus in his current role as provost and VPAA here.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW: While studying Kinesiology at the University of Maryland, Max Manson’s, MS ‘19, paper on focal hand dystonia led Mason to learn about sensory rehabilitation and learning braille to try and alleviate symptoms of the condition in the fingers. That helped his decision to enroll in the Vision Rehabilitation Therapy program within the Blindness and Low Vision Studies Department at Salus University. Learn more about Max’s career journey here.

FINAL THOUGHTS: As we close out this week that started and ended with a snowfall I thought it appropriate to end this week’s update with a few pictures from Tuesday and this morning of our beautiful campus. Wishing everyone a safe and restful weekend. Please be careful when venturing out as not only will it be very icy, but temperatures will also be extremely cold. We want everyone back next week SALUS STRONG!

- Mike
