Senior class off to clinicals

Tuesday, February 26th was a snowy day but it was bright and cheerful in room HH333 as the CLS Department hosted the annual "Off to Clinicals" party for the Senior class.

This was the view out the window of H333. Lots of snow sticking to the trees.


The annual cake with all the Senior's names and two cars that are given away. The only department on campus with a drawing for two cars that lucky students get to take as a reminder of their time at Andrews!!

Theo Cunningham and Matthew Marsh were the lucky students whose names were drawn.


Each Senior stood and introduced themselves and told where they were going for clinicals plus passed along some words of wisdom for the Juniors attending the party.
Here Neil Cometa tells the group that he will be going to Memorial Health Care Systems in Chattanooga, TN

Matthew Marsh will be heading for Florida Hospital in Orlando, FL


Pearl Bekalo will be doing her clinicals at South Bend Medical Foundation in South Bend, IN

Now you guys listen, and listen real good !! Shiphrah Fepuleai will be going to Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, IL


Charienna Llaguno will be heading for Memorial Health Care Systems in Chattanooga, TN

Cedric Bol will be doing his clinicals at Leesburg Regional Medical Center in Leesburg, FL


Becky Doering hails from Lincoln, NE and will be going back to St. Elizabeth Regional Hospital in Lincoln, NE to do her clinicals.

Theo Cunningham will be going to Hinsdale Hospital in Hinsdale, IL now that he won one of the cars !!

Tonya Shipp, a mother of three, has commuted from South Bend, IN every day for classes but will be doing her clinicals at South Bend Medical Foundation in South Bend so the commute will be a lot shorter.

Amanda Graves will be going to Memorial Health Care Systems in Chattanooga, TN to do her clinicals.

Smruti Damania is another one of our students that lives in South Bend, IN and commutes every day to campus. She will also be doing her clinicals at South Bend Medical Foundation so her commute will be much shorter.

Charmaigne Gallega will be doing the opposite of Tonya and Smruti. She lives in Berrien Springs and will be commuting to South Bend since she will be doing her clinical rotations at South Bend Medical Foundation.

Two students were not at the going away party. Gharbrielle Dorsett will be doing her clinicals at Lakeland St. Joseph in St. Joseph, MI and Gail Ferency, categorical in chemistry, will be doing her chemistry rotation at South Bend Medical Foundation

Some of the applicants for the Class of 2009 were present and stood to be recognized.


Twelve of the fourteen Seniors for 2008.

Senior valentine luncheon

The 2008 CLS Senior class hosted a very delicious valentine's luncheon for faculty and staff on Thursday, February 14th. The students prepared dishes representative of their homelands.
Following are some pictures from the luncheon.



A very creative "parasite cake" with red blood cells present.


With the abundance of food that was available, any student or faculty member that happened to be passing through the hallways was invited to join to feast.






The faculty and staff of the CLS Department appreciate the thought and hard work that went in to this luncheon. Thanks Class of 2008 !! It was delicious....

International potluck

On Thursday Sept 20th the CLS department held it's annual International Potluck. Actually there are several held during the school year. The Senior class really out did itself this year. There was so much food and such a variety of food that whoever happened to be walking the halways was invited to partake. The empty tables waiting to be filled.

And filled they were.


Al was batching that week but still brought the perogies. Sorry they were not homemade this year.


An abundance of food.






Plenty of sweets as well.




Some guests loading up.

Thanks Seniors for the great variety and quantity of food.
