On March 18, WSU School of Medicine alumna Maurgan Lee, MS ’22, led a group of Southfield Christian High School juniors and seniors through classrooms, labs and presentations at the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences as well as the School of Medicine. The goal of Lee’s annual event is to expose high school students to a wide range of STEM topics to prepare them for college success. At the Applebaum Building, students learned about possible career paths, enjoyed hands-on lab activities, toured the Pharmuseum with Associate Dean for Pharmacy Susan Davis, and spent some warm-and-fuzzy time with trained therapy dogs in the STELLA Lab, where WSU Applebaum students drop in to de-stress and Assistant Clinical Professor of Occupational Therapy Christine Kivlen conducts research on animal-assistant intervention. After lunch at the School of Medicine, Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Paul Stemmer talked to students about research opportunities similar to those Lee herself experienced in his lab as a Wayne State student. According to Lee, the students loved every aspect of the event and left excited about Wayne State.
