SIUE Relay For Life is trying to make a difference by fundraising for The American Cancer Society. As a University, our goal is $24,000.
 
Five-hundred lives are saved every day because of the progress that has been made against cancer, in part because of people who have supported the American Cancer Society.
 
Make a team, join a team or donate at relayforlife.org/siueil.

The carnival will feature a disc jockey, zumba and other activities for teams to compete in.

Chris Lynch, professor and director of clinical programs in the SIUE School of Pharmacy, invites faculty, staff or their friends and family to sign up for a free medication evaluation visit.

Lynch, and two senior pharmacy students, will visit the patient in their home or meet with them in Lynch's office in the School of Pharmacy. Lynch can travel anywhere within a 40-mile radius of the campus. He and his students will conduct a thorough interview, review all medications and offer written feedback to the patient and his or her caregivers as needed.

This program is especially beneficial to those taking large numbers of medications each day or who have medicated-related problems. Lynch is a board certified ambulatory care clinical pharmacist with 23 years experience specializing in assisting patients dealing with large numbers of medications.

These services will be provided during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of April, and the 3rd and 4th weeks of May. They are provided as a free public service of the University and the School of Pharmacy.

To learn more or schedule an appointment, please contact Lynch at jalynch@siue.edu or 650-5139.

Microaggressions are common verbal, behavioral and environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile or negative slights to marginalized groups. Perpetrators of microaggressions are often unaware that they engage in such interactions when they interact with minorities. (Sue, et al, Columbia University, Teachers College, 2007)
