Tuesday was Hunger Action Day! From raising awareness about hunger to building a better understanding of GI anatomy, our students put their knowledge into action through collaboration and creativity. 👏

Every action against hunger can make a difference, and September may be over, but hunger is a yearlong battle. Donate to or volunteer at a food bank or pantry near you if you’re able. 🧡

When textbooks aren’t enough, we bring out the Play-Doh!
Cardiac juniors modeling fetal heart development - common atria, ostium primum, septum primum, and endocardial cushions. It’s one thing to see a CHD on screen, it’s another to build the heart and understand WHY it formed that way!
