WesternU Giving Day

THANK YOU for supporting WesternU Giving Day on Tuesday, September 7, 2021! Thanks for being ALL IN for students. Every person, any amount! You helped make a difference!
Sept. 11 memorial
 
The WesternU Military Medical Student Association shared a Sept. 11 memorial service via video again this year. Among the guests speaking are WesternU faculty, Dr. Derrick Sorweide, Dr. David Redding, and Dr. David Connett. 
Let's pay tribute to the heroes and vow never to forget the tremendous loss of life suffered 20 years ago by watching the video.
From the College of Pharmacy:
Dr. Don Roosan, Dr. Anandi Law, Dr. Eunice Kim and their research team published an article in npj Digital Medicine, Scoping review: the empowerment of Alzheimer’s Disease caregivers with mHealth applications. This scoping review finds that mHealth applications for Alzheimer’s Disease caregivers are inadequate. This creates an opportunity to use artificial intelligence and digital health to create innovative applications where caregivers can be part of the health care team model. Dr. Eunice Kim started working with Dr. Roosan as an APPE PharmD rotation student. Currently, she is Dr. Law’s post-doctoral fellow in outcomes research at WesternU.

WesternU Staff Council
WesternU proudly welcomes the formation of the WesternU Staff Council (WSC). Staff Council has been created to serve and advocate for the interest and needs of the staff members on both the California and Oregon campuses. The Staff Council’s goals are to promote a culture of employee satisfaction, respect, and shared governance. Its members also strive to create a space to celebrate and acknowledge the exceptional work and diversity of all staff across the WesternU community.
WSC would also like to share that we have a few openings for additional staff members to join the team! The application process will be shared with the University soon. We look forward to working together to achieve the goals of the WesternU community.
