On Wednesday, August 20, the HOSA Club hosted a Coffee and Donuts Social to welcome interested students and share more about what HOSA is all about! 💙🤍 Students had the opportunity to learn about the club’s mission of developing future health professionals, upcoming activities, and ways to get involved.
Students worked together in the lab to explore conditions that affect enzyme activity, then wrapped up with a Jenga review game to prepare for their upcoming unit test. 💡📚
