Members of the Pre-Physician Assistants' Club of Trine University explained to area Girl Scouts what a physician assistant does at a special event on Oct. 19.
The club was invited to the Girl Scout STEM Expo at Purdue Fort Wayne to show K-12 girls what a physician assistant (PA) is and inspire them to consider a rising healthcare career.
Club members explained what a PA does through a word search, homemade case studies, coloring sheets and pipe cleaner organs/medical equipment.
"This event allowed us to share our passion for the profession with aspiring girls and we could not have been more grateful to participate!" said Karly Ewing, club president.
Trine University’s annual Trine Day, a celebration of the university as well as an opportunity to support its mission, set records for number of donors and funds raised, bringing in more than $160,000 for scholarships, academic and athletic needs, and student organizations.
Trine University students learned about opportunities available with the Purdue Data Mine during a special presentation on April 10 in the Mark and Sarah Music/Ruoff Mortgage Esports Arena.
Trine University has received a lead gift from Dr. Rick L. James, alumnus and chair of the university’s Board of Trustees, and his wife, Dr. Vicki L. James, for a new building to house Trine’s business school.
