Alumni Office Launches Book Club
The Alumni Office launched an alumni book club this fall. A group of 11 alumni discussed its first selection, When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi, the Institute’s 2021 common reading assignment for first-year direct entry students. It was chosen to connect alums back to the dynamic conversations they had as students as well as a connection to an activity current students are experiencing. An interdisciplinary group of alums shared their insights on the role one’s identity plays in healthcare delivery, the multifaceted nature of the interprofessional care team, and what it means to be both present and future-thinking in the face of a terminal illness. Alisa Bjorkman, OTD ’20 (right), facilitated the discussion with fellow alumni Ruquia Arafa, MS-SLP ’14; Christine Bibeau, DPT ’13; Alisa Bjorkman, OTD ’20; Tracey McLaughlin, MS-SLP ’96; Katherine Noyes, MS-SLP ’11; Adina Steen, BSN ’14; Marie Tobin, DNP ’13; Taryn Townsend, MS-SLP ’12; Jenny Traver, MS-SLP ’17; and Ruhan Yan, BSN ’18.
