A fun, week-long challenge to promote student wellness through daily activities. Students could participate daily for a chance to win exciting prizes and we received lots of submission via Instagram! There was a special in-person event as well for students to be active together!
Discussed the paper, “Willingness to Self-Collect a Sample for HPV-Based Cervical Cancer Screening in a Well-Screened Cohort: HPV Focal Survey Results.” It was an in-person casual hangout after work at Cactus Club. Really great turn out and amazing discussions!
Painted, enjoyed dinner, and competed for a prize with spring-themed art!
A free spin class for WACH students and all proceeds were donated to the Better life Foundation!
WACH Journal Club
Discussed the paper, “Sulforaphane induced NRF2 activation in obese pregnancy attenuated developmental redox imbalance and improves early-life cardiovascular function in offspring.”
Popular event amongst students and definitely a favourite!
