Update from Health Sciences
Summer has always seemed like the season of possibilities for me. I flashback to childhood days of cutting watermelon, swimming in the creek, running barefoot, and playing outside till you could catch lightning bugs.
The pace and atmosphere always felt different in summer.
Summer for the health science division is also filled with possibilities. The majority of our programs accept student applications for fall admission in the month of June. We receive a barrage of calls with questions and have to offer assistance and advice to a myriad of students. The work of recording, ranking, and selecting applicants follows. After the letters are mailed, another round of calls, questions, and advice-giving ensues. As you can imagine, our division doesn't get to experience many lazy days of summer. We do, however, get to experience the possibilities created by the wide array of students that apply to our programs.
I hope that you're able to take some time to enjoy your summer!
