Special thanks is due to Dr. Teraya Donaldson, Risham Qureshi, and everyone else who helped put together the Research Mentor Training Workshop that took place yesterday. It was a huge success that yielded well-deserved attendance.
Please remember that VCU RealTime went live for our group today. Non-

Have an excellent weekend,
