Every month here we will be doing a “Club Spotlight”, mostly for students to get an idea of, ‘oh this is something I want to do’ or ‘this is something I want to learn more about’. While also showing appreciation to the clubs around the campus.
School clubs are one of the many ways you can see what you would potentially want to do in the future after high school, or it could be something you would want to do as a hobby. This includes students all around the campus.
This month’s Club Spotlight will go to the Pre-Med Club run by Mrs. Liskov in Bio. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Mrs. Liskov a little about the club. According to Mrs. Liskov the Pre-Med Club is “much bigger this year than in the past.” The Pre-Med Club as of now has about “thirty-five students”, “there are more freshman this year than in previous years.” but there is also, “a mix of student grade representation in the club.” Which is a good thing, that means that new students now are either hearing of the opportunities the club could bring to them, or they are probably just hearing good things about the club in general.
The Pre-Med Club has opportunities like the “blood drives”. This year Pre-Med Club is doing three blood drives in total, which is more than previous years, because of the good outcome. This year they are doing three blood drives in total. They also have an opportunity to intern at Saint Vincent’s hospital for a weeklong internship. Two students are chosen by “a selection committee, Mr. Channer, Ms. Pearce, and Mrs. Liskov”; they choose which two students can participate in the internship. To apply for the program “students must be an active member of the Pre-Med Club and write an essay that explains why they would like to participate.”
The Pre-Med Club is every Tuesday from 2:30-3:15.
A special thank you to Mrs. Liskov who runs the Pre-Med Club and agreed to be interviewed and featured in the story.
