Director: Dr. Suzanne LaLonde
Thank you, students, for being so open-minded about venturing outside the “comfort zone” of Bio-Chem and P-Chem and for writing your skits, performing on stage, and being thoughtful young adults. The medical field will be enriched not only by your intellectual acuity but also by your emotional insights and human warmth. Dr. LaLonde
Thanks to the College of Liberal Arts and the Honors College for their financial support.
