Kyle Serafico ’17 is the winner of a $500 mini grant to help launch a medication adherence campaign aimed at patients at the Community Health Care Clinic. Serafico’s funding will help launch the new ‘Rock Your Meds’ campaign at the CHCC. The campaign is dedicated to increase patients’ adherence to their medication regimens, and the grant will help establish a medication adherence protocol that includes producing education materials in both English and Spanish for CHCC staff to use during patient interactions. Congratulations, Kyle!
Martha Aguirre ’17 presented her research entitled “Building Global Citizens: The benefits of teaching towards communicative language learning”. Her research discussed how a more natural approach to language learning is effective when trying to teach a second language because it is more authentic, student centered, and fun. Congratulations, Martha!
