This June was Student Appreciation Month at Ross Medical Education Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The celebration began with faculty writing something special about each one of their students and giving the note to them. All of the students appreciated the wonderful comments and encouragement.
The campus’ Career Services department provided the students with an ice cream social. There were so many toppings to choose from! They also gave the students the option of making their creation in a cone or in a bowl. This definitely was a big hit with the students!
Then, Admissions followed suit by giving the students a pizza party. Students were excited and thankful to have lunch provided and to spend time with their friends and instructors. The admissions team also handed out their business cards and information packets so current students could share with their friends and families about all the great programs that Ross has to offer!
For the remainder of the month, there were many more fun activities. During the last week, each day had a special privilege or event. On Monday, the students were allowed to wear Ross colors to class. Tuesday was “Talent Tuesday,” and the students participated in karaoke and showed off some of their many talents. Wednesday, students got the chance to represent their favorite sports team by wearing jerseys and fan gear. Thursday was “Throwback Thursday,” and the students were very creative and enthusiastic about dressing up in gear from the past! Finally, Friday was “Freestyle Friday,” and the students were able to wear what they find to be most comfortable. Many wore jeans or summer dresses.
This year’s Student Appreciation Month was a huge success! The students enjoyed the recognition of their hard work and the opportunity to have some fun with their instructors and classmates. All of the students participated in the events, and even the faculty and staff had a great time!!
