Lots of pressure on the editorial staff of the e-Pulse to come out of the gates with a blockbuster newsletter to start the semester. After all, we've had six weeks to get this issue ready -- dot the i's, cross the t's, draw those lines through the "R" to make that Rx symbol. The way we see it, the Mayans gave us a second chance, and we aim to make the most of it.

College's Annual Africana Film Series to run February 5, 12, and 19
| 
In February 2005, ACPHS Associate Professor Kevin Hickey launched the College's first Africana Film Series. Nine years later, the series has built a loyal following of fans from both the College community and outside the campus. The Series' ninth year kicks off on February 5 at 7:00 p.m. in the Student Center with the film "The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun." Prior to the start of the movie, Dr. Hickey will screen an unforgettable "image-film" featuring photos of his four year bike trek through Africa. It's not to be missed. Subsequent films will be shown on February 12 and 19. Click this link to read more about the film series.

 After taking the semester-long course "Culture, Customs, and Health of Belize" during the fall, 21 Pharm.D. and B.S. students spent the first two weeks of January setting up and running health clinics in rural Belize. Students administered basic physical examinations and provided health advice and medications for individuals ranging from a few months old to well into their 90's. The students, who lived with local families, also taught about health in a local primary school. |

College Receives $150K from NY State for Laboratory Renovations | 
And in case you missed it, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a series of regional economic development grants in late December during an event at the Empire State Plaza. Included in those awards was a $150,000 grant for the College to help upgrade its laboratory facilities for teaching and research use. The College is currently in the midst of a multi-year Science and Research Laboratories Renovations Project which has already seen enhancements made to the Microbiology and Chemistry labs. |
