Members of the Pre-Physician Assistants' Club of 91²Ö¿â 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.
Young Professionals of DeKalb County (YPDC) is expanding professional development options for its members by partnering with 91²Ö¿â to offer unique learning opportunities.
91²Ö¿â students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Two 91²Ö¿â faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
