Medical College of Wisconsin Mellowes Center Events & Engagement Opportunities
Engage-Connect-Discover
Thank you all for the time you took to speak and work with these impressionable young students. The discussions at school last week after your visit, on the bus ride home Monday, and the classroom upon return, involved a number of comments about how impressed they were with the facilities, the passion presenters had, the actual use of Biology terms "in a real-life job", and of course the lunch and bus! Please let everyone...know how positive the experience was for the students.
