This year there was a focus on vaccine confidence regarding? with the COVID-19?pandemic.

Various community educational events were held in February and March 2021. Our talented interprofessional faculty team from Social Work (Donna Drucker, Georgia Brown, Allan Barsky, Heather Howard, and Morgan Cooley) collaborated with faculty and students from the other colleges and schools in a virtual meeting with 60 senior members of our community to educate them on the importance of medication adherence and provide additional information about the COVID-19 vaccines. Our Senior Adult Geriatric Educators (SAGE) mentors were from our community partners: Abby Delray North, Abby Delray South, Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, and Weisman Delray Community Center.

Due to our outstanding collaborative efforts, our team was recognized as the Rookie Award Finalist. You must be an aspiring student, self-taught artist, or hobbyist with a passion for creative media.
