Hope everyone has been having a great finals run so far! This is just a quick recap of all that we have done this semester:

>Successful children's socks, diapers, and underwear drive in February where we collected over 70 items that were donated to Chosen for Life Ministries.
>Our annual spring clothing drive in March where we donated trunkloads of gently used clothing to Project Safe of Athens.
>Bake sale on the last day of class that raised over $200 for Street Hearts, an organization in Haiti that aids children with education and shelter.
>Volunteering at UGarden to support local, sustainably grown food.
>Peer mentoring program between students focusing in healthcare.
>General body meetings where we held awareness discussions, talked about the premed pathway, planned out activities for the semester, and just had fun with games and food.

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and join us to make this such a successful semester. Best of luck on any remaining finals and we hope to see you all in the fall!
