Special gifts received from the U of A College of Pharmacy Faculty and Students
We were fortunate to be the benefactors of three special gifts this month from our esteemed colleagues from the College of Pharmacy. Our first gift was a ZOOM game called “Name That Band!” Created by Alison Weygint, the game consists of student hosts that play a hit song and an Elders team and a student team have to guess what band sung the song. The Elders won hands down! Naming most bands within four seconds they amazed the students! Of course, most of the songs selected were recorded before the students were even born! Thanks, Alison!
Our second gift is a fantastic spring volume of a newsletter students created for S. Luke’s Home. It presents nutrition, exercise, and summer health tips, along with games. The topics reflect the Interprofessional education the students and faculty would have presented in clinics had it been a normal school year. Tips for serving high nutrition snacks will be incorporated into the daily meal plans. A special thanks to Dr Jeannie Lee for incorporating student/Elder engagement opportunities throughout the school year. It was good to be in touch with the larger world.
Finally, we received a gift that will enrich St Luke’s Home for years to come. It is a Birdwatching Guide designed specifically for older adult readers. The book was inspired by the birds featured in the Nature Nurtures Us mural, created by the Elders in late winter. When it was delivered by Ketty Lee, the Elders were overjoyed. Such generosity is really the gift here.
Your thoughtfulness is a gift we will always treasure. Enjoy the summer and we are excited for the day we can open our doors to the faculty and students of the College of Pharmacy.
