Join the GAC on Tues., Nov. 24 in the PUB 9208 from 10:30-11:20 a.m. for a presentation on “Dental Hygiene and Nursing Service Learning in Bolivia.”
Working with the Smiles Forever Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Seattle, a group of Nursing and Dental Hygiene students from Shoreline Community College had the chance of a lifetime to see firsthand how simple healthcare practices can make a difference in impoverished communities.
Led by Shoreline faculty members Katie Fleming and Lisa Libassi, this two-week program enabled students to explore medical issues and disease treatment in an environment with limited equipment. They visited the first and only dental hygiene school in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Nursing students had numerous opportunities to work in hospital and clinic settings, as well as in public health facilities and to conduct medical screening health fairs.
Join us on November 24 when Katie and Lisa will discuss how this experience gave their students a broader understanding of diverse cultures and complex health and political issues. For more information about Katie Fleming and Lisa Libassi, visit our biographies page.
Project Pride and the SLC hosted two events this week in honor of Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance. If you were unable to attend the first event, a silent honoring of lives lost to anti-Transgender violence held Nov. 18, you can find photos here. If you missed the memorial event held Fri., Nov. 20, you can view the photos here. The installation that was erected in the PUB lobby in honor of #BlackLivesMatter and #TDOR will be on display until the end of Fall quarter. If you were unable to attend either Transgender Day of Remembrance event, please take the time to stop by the lobby and view the installation, which is a moving portrayal of the violence faced by this marginalized community.
