Student WOW – Extraordinary Expression of LP

The Life U Clinics system has been undergoing the challenging (but very worthwhile) process of adopting a new Electronic Health Records (EHR) software. The process has involved extensive training for Clinics personnel and student interns.

One intern in particular, Sadeddin “Saad” Yamlikha, displayed an extraordinary expression of Lasting Purpose over the Summer Quarter break by helping his fellow interns learn the new NextGen EHR. Saad spent many hours and days helping other interns during the times when he did not have patients scheduled. On more than a few occasions, other student interns reported that Saad had provided them with a great deal of assistance in both the student prep area and in the adjusting room. When C-HOP personnel thanked Saad for his efforts, his humility made his helpfulness even more impressive. Saad’s generosity in sharing his time and knowledge to the benefit of his fellow students and to the University clearly conveys his commitment to Lasting Purpose.

Resurfacing Upper Field Track

Facilities Management is coordinating and supporting Life University Athletics with a long overdue project. The project consists of resurfacing the upper field running track. The construction for this project will start on October 14.

As such, effective Monday, October 14, the Sports Complex upper parking area and upper field will be blocked off from vehicle access and foot traffic. Only the contractors will be allow in the area during the construction period.

The construction period will last for 18 days, and we would greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding during this period. The activities will cause some minor disruptions and possible noise, but they should not stop or interfere with our normal campus activity. Thanks again for allowing Facilities Management the opportunity to improve the upper field running track.

Lasting Purpose Spotlight

Lasting Purpose Spotlight

On August 15, Integrity Doctors Club hosted, along with the Sid and Nell Williams Library, a campus-wide Wave Away Hunger event to support our own campus food bank, Food4LIFE. The event was held in the lobby of the Drs. Sid E. & Nell K. Williams Library, and the hosts accepted a bounty of nonperishable food items, as well as financial donations (and donors received Integrity Doctors ‘Born to Serve’ T-shirts).

As a result of the event, students and staff were able to deliver a wagon load of food to the pantry and raised $100 in donations. When purchasing Kroger grocery cards with the donated money, Integrity Doctors Club president Renee Robinson shared the club’s efforts with the store manager, who contributed an additional $25 Kroger gift card. The good continued to ripple and amplified into the addition of our food bank to the Kroger No Waste program. The Integrity Doctors Club picked up our first donations from them last week. Their efforts will continue to amplify as food is collected from Kroger weekly.

Integrity Doctors Club and Food4LIFE still need your help. Continue to donate in the Library by placing food and grocery supplies on the cart. Let’s keep our campus food bank well stocked and ready to serve. Please email Food4LIFE@LIFE.edu for a list of needed items (and to prevent overstocking of some items). And, if you or a student you know needs food or groceries, be sure to request help at Food4LIFE@LIFE.edu.

Best of all, even though Renee’s tenure as president of Integrity Doctors Club has just ended, new president Tiffany Smart intends to continue the ripple of good by focusing the club’s service efforts on Food4LIFE.

You can catch up with the Integrity Doctors Club on the Mondays of Assembly, Weeks 2, 4 and 7 each quarter. Feel free to follow Integrity Doctors Club on Engage to keep up with their meetings and activities.
