• 23rd - 7:30 p.m. Science Center 1019
  
  I am pleased to share with you that two Hope College pre-PA students have worked with me and members of Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED) to form a new pre-health student group: pre-PA student group for our campus.
  
  Why? To create and provide a learning and supportive community to help all pre-PA students along their journey to PA schools and beyond. As you know, PA is a great profession, but difficult to figure out the admissions process because PA schools each have their own requirements for admissions for pre-req classes, direct patient contact hours, GRE, etc. We can work collectively together to help us on our common goal.
  
  Featured speaker is Lisa J. Woolsey, PhD, PA-C
  Introduction of the new group by Peter Lawinger & Hannah Yancey
  Introduction of or re-aquaintance with Tahnee Prokopow, Health Professions Advisor
  
  And YOU! We need you to join, sustain, and develop this new group.
