Message of the Week
WVU MEDICAL STUDENTS SPONSORING BOOK DRIVE Students for Global Health of the WVU School of Medicine would like to invite you to participate in an international project called Operation Medical Libraries, which exists to help shrink the educational gap in the health sciences of developing countries. We will be holding a book drive beginning January 26th to collect health science textbooks, published after 2001. Once the books are collected, we will send them to WVU alumnus Dr. Wes Farr's former naval post in Afghanistan, as well the Solomon Islands. Our military will then distribute them to the local hospitals and medical schools.
