ELAM News to Know
Strength in More than Numbers
With the graduation of the 2014 class coming up in May, the ELUM community will grow to over 800 strong. Not only is our ELUM community strong in numbers, we are also strong in the skills, talents, and experiences of our members. It is those skills, talents, and experiences that we rely on to assist us in a myriad of ways here at ELAM. We're always looking for ELUMs who are interested in giving back through giving their time.
If you've ever considered volunteering for ELAM, the numerous opportunities we have available are all listed on our website, along with a brief description of each role. We also ask that you fill out an online form so that we know of your interest and can look to you when an opportunity becomes available.
Please contact us at elam@drexelmed.edu at any time with any questions, and we thank you in advance for helping to make our community of remarkable women as strong as it can be.
