ROOTS: PERM vs. NATURAL
Where do you fit in?

Wednesday, October 21, 2009
6pm-8pm
South PJ

Do you swear to get a relaxer until the day you die? Or are you one of those  die hard naturals? For, does it matter which type of hair a woman decides to wear? Is it appropriate for a man to put chemicals in his hair?

Come out one of the most informative programs of the year, to state your opinions on these questions and much more. This is promised to be a very interactive, fun, and informative event. We will be having a small panel consisting of various views on hair. This forum will be moderated by the Associate Dean of the Veterinary School, Mrs. Paige Carmichael.

Welcome!

Paging Dr. Fawole
Research award given to student
By: KATIE VALENTINE
Posted: 1/29/09
Opeoluwa Fawole has always wanted to be a doctor.

“It’s the only career I’ve ever considered,” she said. “My parents say that when I was little, and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I never told them anything different.”

Throughout high school and into college, this love of medicine has stuck with Fawole, and her dedication toward her dream of becoming a doctor has recently been rewarded. She has become the first University student to be chosen for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Exceptional Research Opportunities Program.

EXROP is a 10-week program in which students who have demonstrated exceptional ability in the medical field are given the chance to work in one of almost 200 research labs throughout the country.
