May 4th marked a historical moment for The Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program at Christian Brothers University. 31 members of the Class of 2014 were given the traditional student consultative White Coat made possible through the support of anonymous donors. The inaugural Physical Assistant White Coat Ceremony was a first for Memphis and marked a rite of passage for the students from didactic classroom and lab instruction to practical clinical training. “This was a monumental event for CBU and the Memphis community which was evidenced by the number of individuals who joined us for the event,” said Dr. Mark Scott, Director of the Physician Assistant Studies Program. “The support of the program by physicians and individuals has been overwhelming and is reflective of the University’s impact on this community.

Across the country, winter snow storms, devastating tornados and seasonal flu outbreaks have impacted blood supplies. Peabody Elementary School is taking action to support citizens in their time of need.

On Monday, February 25, from noon to 6 p.m., Peabody School will host a blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross to support patients in need of blood.

During the six-hour blood drive, the Red Cross Blood Donor Coach will be at Peabody School, 2086 Young Avenue, for parents, staff and any eligible community member to donate blood conveniently, right in the heart of the Cooper-Young Historical District.

Students who are members of the Peabody Beta Club will serve as volunteers for the event.

In January, Peabody students raised more than $800 for Hurricane Sandy Relief efforts – the funds were donated to the Red Cross to assist storm victims.
