UPenn / Arcadia U MSGC Program

We can't wrap up our wrap up of this week's Colloquium without a big shout out to all the second year students, some of whom are pictured here, who shared their thesis research with the Penn Medicine and CHOP community, along with master's students from the other 13 professional master's programs in the Perelman School of Medicine. It felt like the kick off to graduation!

We had the privilege and pleasure of hearing Dr. Paul Offit in conversation with Dr. Emma Meagher, Associate Dean of the Master's and Certificate Programs, in addition to many other roles at Penn. The co-inventor of the rotavirus vaccine and author of eleven books about science, medicine, and vaccines, Dr. Offit is the Director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as well as the Maurice R. Hilleman Professor of Vaccinology and a Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at UPenn. He has served on key advisory committees on vaccines and immunization policy for the FDA and CDC and continues to research and educate the public about the importance of vaccination. Coincidentally, he was featured on the cover of this month's Philadelphia magazine!

We welcome anyone who plans to apply to a graduate genetic counseling program this fall and beyond to join us for "Making the Most of the Next Sixth Months," a virtual open house on Tuesday, June 16th at 7PM Eastern time. We'll focus on what you can do between now and the end of the year to strengthen your application.
