Spring 2009 registration begins on October 14. Students can pick up information
on the Spring ON registration process in the Office of Student Services. The information
will also be available online later this week. Clinical request forms will be available
online beginning September 23.
Saturday, October 18 is the local American Heart Association Walk and the SON is a vital
part of this activity. Last year, we had the most walkers, raised the most money and
set the bar to a standard that will be hard to beat. In fact, the SON is probably the
group who will succeed in raising that bar. This walk is fun - children and dogs are
welcome - there are a lot of activities and fun for the children, pet stations (last year
dogs got their own doggie bags of treats). Heart associated problems are some of the
leading causes of death and illness in West Virginia. Walking and raising funds for the
AHA are ways we can make a strong statement of support in fighting this deadly disease.

bus ticket has been paid in advance for you? Faculty, staff and students can ride the
