FAMILY DAY

FAMILY A Tradition ContinuesDAY

Family Day is a beloved annual tradition at LSU Health Shreveport. Each year, students proudly show their friends and family around campus and experience an array of engaging, educational sessions such as a tour of the human anatomy lab, giving these friends and family a sneak peak into the life of our students. This fall, students’ friends and family members showed their support with 500 attendees at the School of Medicine Family Day held on Saturday, September 24 and with 400 attendees at the School of Allied Health Professions Family Day held on Saturday, October 1. Both events were given a warm welcome by Interim Chancellor, Dr. David Lewis, and an opportunity to learn more about campus safety with Director of University Police, Chief Vaughn Burris.

School of Medicine students, friends and families also heard from additional leadership including Dr. Debbie Chandler, Associate Dean of Student Affairs; Dr. Peggy Murphy, Director of Student Affairs; Dr. Mark Cogburn, Director of Student Counseling Center; and Marc Gibson, Executive Director of Campus Operations. A tour of the human anatomy lab, clinical skills demonstrations, visit to the library, and more followed to wrap up the celebratory day.

At the School of Allied Health Professions Family Day, Dean, Sharon Dunn, Ernesto Peña, SAHP Student Government Association President, and Valorie Lurry, Director of Student Life also welcomed everyone to campus. Self-guided tours followed with opportunities to experience presentations in the Anatomage/Brain and Cadaver Lab and in the Simulation Lab, and to play SAHP Family Feud.
