Radiologic Technology, Histotechnology, Nursing, Exercise Science and Medical Assisting students had a picnic with Associate Dean Idanny Matos to learn about each other’s career choices.

The word ‘picnic’ is thought to have first been used by Tony Willis in 1692, and from that point forward everyone from the working class to the upper crust have been fascinated with taking their repast outside under the sky. Picnics have been used for many things throughout the centuries, from a simply family gathering spent enjoying the outdoors, to being used as a peaceful protest in the Pan-European Picnic, which was held on the Hungarian/Austrian border in 1989. The most notable, and largest, picnic ever held spanned 600 miles, crossing France from coast to coast and celebrated the millennium’s first Bastille Day in 2000. Picnic Month celebrates the history of this activity and the way it has been used to bring families, countries, and all humanity together.
