I believe it is my responsibility to leverage my education and skills to make a difference. I try to instill that same belief in my students at the Life Science Academy while also participating in service as an individual in my community.
Life Science Academy Community Service
Giving back is a vital part of the LSA. We believe community service is our responsibility. By creating an urgency and sense of place in our students, it is our hope that they might stay or come back to help fill our medical/health needs and make our community a better place! AS a part of our Annual Community Service Program, our students write grant proposals and present project ideas to a panel of experts. We implement the winning student-led and directed community service project each year.
