Campus Tidbits On November 20th, Alyssa Palmer, OMS II, and the ROAD Club planned and organized a skin cancer screening clinic at the Doctors Volunteer Clinic at no cost to the community. About 40 walk-in patients were seen by SD Palmer, David Crimin, DO, Director of Medical Education at the Southern Utah Veterans Home, Adrian Tinajero, DO, Dermatologist at Cedar Dermatology, and several RVU students. Students learned how to screen lesions such as compound nevi, suspicious atypical dysplastic nevi, basal cell and squamous cancers, sebaceous hyperplasia and keratosis, and more.
To assist students in keeping their relationships healthy, RVU's Department of Student Affairs hosted a DIY Valentine's Day Card and Art Project on February 11th. Students made homemade cards for their loved ones and practiced their painting skills during a Pour Paint Art session.
Back in December, RVUers (including Dr. David Forstein and Dr. Heather Ferrill) donated funds (that would have otherwise been spent on holiday gifts) to provide lunches to the front-line workers at HealthONE's Sky Ridge Medical Center and St. George Regional Hospital. A total of 95 boxed lunches from Newk's Eatery in Colorado were donated to Sky Ridge and 78 boxed lunches from Jersey Mike's in Utah were donated to St. George Regional.
Kalon Morgan, OMS IV, and his wife, Aubrey, welcomed a baby boy. Koda was born on February 2nd at CHOC Children's Hospital. This is their second son.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a landmark piece of legislation for gender equity. The Office of Institutional Effectiveness would like to recognize this significant law, which ensures that "all education programs and activities receiving federal funding must protect students and employees from sex-based discrimination and bans many aspects of gender inequality that had been previously been tolerated or overlooked in education."
