A group of anatomy and honors anatomy students visited Loyola University - Stritch School of Medicine with Dr. Vahl and Mr. Monti. Students were able to get hands-on experience and make unique observations with human cadavers and pathology models. Additionally, students worked through a couple of life saving scenarios with "Vince" - the robotic patient simulator. It was a great field trip!

Mrs. Valerie Tijerina and the Diversity Club traveled to Chinatown this past weekend and had a great time! It was a good experience, and because the weather was beautiful, it was a nice day outdoors.
