Fall 2013 Legacy Project Complete -- World Premiere Today!

     We don't always manage to complete a "legacy" project each term...    
     Sometimes we just get too busy and we don't have the resources... This term, however, with a great group that really pulled together, we were able to complete an unprecedented TWO PROJECTS! The first one (our "Caroling Project") was published a couple of weeks ago. 
     The latest one, which has some educational value, was published today and is intended to help incoming students master the ETS Order of Draw more easily, using music, mnemonics (Order of Draw Nails and, for the first time ever, Order of Draw Henna!) and other types of cues to help students retain the somewhat arbitrary order of draw.
     Special thanks to everyone who participated in the video production. 
Starting with    Simone, who fueled the day with a surprise breakfast, 
                          Our enthusiastic "guy students," who boldly stepped up to the 
                          plate (some wearing PPEs!) in the spirit of learning and 
                          solidarity, 
                          A barista, who had a cameo appearance fixing hot chocolate,
                          A nail "fashionista" who thrilled many students with her 
                          incredible "swirling" technique, and 
                          A henna artist who came out of nowhere to surprise and delight 
                          the class with a new mnemonic for learning Order of Draw!
                          A class of enthusiastic learners whose "can-do" attitude and 
                          perseverance carried them through the program. 
     On behalf of Simone and myself, I would like to thank everyone for all of the efforts you made in the face of a challenging quarter! 


     Next stop, Clinicals and then, 
THE WORLD!  
Go get 'em phlebotomists!
