The Melbourne campus participated in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life 2016. At Relay For Life events, communities across the globe come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones, and raise funds for research. The Student Occupational Therapy Assisting organization led the efforts and started fundraising in March. Lambda Nu, PTK, SGA, Radiation Therapy, and Radiologic Technology organizations and programs also participated. Community support for the Relay for Life event came from the following: Hooters donated 500 chicken wings, Olive Garden donated food, Texas Roadhouse donated a basket, Dunkin’ Donuts donated ten- $10.00 gift cards, Bj’s donated $25.00 gift card, and Wal-Mart donated a $50.00 gift card. Overall, the campus raised $1,351.00.
My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.
