Volunteer to have PT students check out your knees, hips or ankles

We will be taking all the current precautions related to the delivery of healthcare during COVID-19, which includes our students wearing face shields and masks, volunteers and students using stations that provide physical distance from others, and all participants being screened for symptoms.

Volunteers are needed for either a one- or two-hour session between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, at the Roberts Center. A telehealth option is also available.

Scheduled tree pruning today on the quad

Tuesday, November 10th, 2020

We will be pruning the trees on the quad all day today (Wednesday). Proper pruning assists each tree to grow in a configuration that is most ideal for the best structural integrity of the tree.

Maintaining the trees’ structure helps to mitigate the risks of broken limbs and falling branches. Areas around the trees will be marked off; for your safety, we ask that you do not walk within those areas.
