The second student, Ella Foote, is a senior at Norwich High School in Norwich, New York, and a community volunteer. Ella is considering a career in pharmacy because of her past work and shadowing experiences.
ACPHS Assistant Director of Admissions, Grace Higgins, attended听a听reception at the Norwich High School’s听Career听Center with听her parents,听Keri Brewer and Matt Foote,听her school counselor, Mary Carson,听and others.
Both students were chosen for their impressive participation and engagement during Scholarship Day led by ACPHS faculty including Margaret Doll, Public Health; Michelle Parent, Clinical Laboratory & Health Sciences; Stephen Maher, Forensic Psychology, Psychology, & Forensic Science; Eric Yager, Biomedical Sciences; and Tom Lodise, Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences.
The professors laid out the groundwork for an anthrax attack threat discovered by the CIA. By working through the case study, the students learned the roles and responsibilities of various personnel involved in averting or minimizing the effects of a bioterrorism attack.
They also gained听an听appreciation听for the importance of a team approach in听identifying听and responding to health threats.
Congratulations to both Lyla and Ella and welcome to the ACPHS family!听
