CommUniversitySB

Below is an example of the many community and recruitment events that the CLS faculty and students engage in.

This year, CLS Faculty Members Jeannie Guglielmo, and Kathleen Finnegan participated in the CommUniversity Day event at the Academic Mall; sharing their fasicnating, innovative, and entertaining world with the larger campus community! Through interactive activities, participants were privileged to a hands on experience that was relevant to the Clinical Laboratory Sciences ethos in a fun and exciting way! Below are a few photos from the day:

 

 

 

 
 
 
NEXTPO-2017Here is the event explained by Jeannie Guglielmo:
NEXTPO is a program sponsored by the ASCP (American Society for Clinical Pathology) to help address the workforce shortage of Clinical Laboratory Scientists. This program aims to expose pre-college students to careers in the laboratory. For the past several years, Jeannie Guglielmo along with 3 other ASCP Career Ambassadors (depicted above) have provided hands-on workshops to hundreds of students at the Annual ASCP Meetings in Tampa, FL, Long Beach, CA, Las Vegas, NV and Chicago, IL. Students are rotated through stations in Microbiology, Blood Bank, Forensic Science and Pathology Assisting, completing hands-on activities along with other fun activities such as a PPE race and a Diagnosis Challenge.
