By doing this, we would be showing these young parents how important we feel reading is. And in fact, reading to young children is the primary indicator of how well they do in school. Its correlation is even stronger than socioeconomic status. The second thing we can do is evaluate children's books for appropriate themes. So if you are interested, please give us a call.
New members are welcome anytime.
Oh, and Dr. Fessler is willing to let you get involved with the Center in a clinical capacity if you want to. The Spark is the creative journal of the medical school community, keeping alive that tiny flame of spirit that is separate from drug toxicity lists and scantron sheets. We need writers, poets, editors, artists, photographers, and people of good will. We're shooting for a February publication, so please get your submissions in by mid-January. Please submit all written material, on disk, to the mailboxes of either Raechele Cochran, Trisha Francis, Eric Garby, or Michelle Nguyen.
