ANC Students Volunteer in Local Community This spring, the Teambuilding/Teamwork class volunteered their time to help the Blytheville Humane Society.

The class collectively volunteered over 40 hours of community service. Check out a few student testimonials

about their experiences!

Brandy Lindsey-

"Volunteering at the Humane Society was fun and eye-opening, meeting and walking the dogs was an

experience. The dogs were so happy to be running around an exploring. Being able to play with the cats and

giving them some companionship even just for a little while, was very rewarding. The workers at the shelter

were also excited to have us there helping. It was a fun and rewarding experience. I'll be back to help again:'

Lacandra Lewis-

"My experience at Orphan Annie's was great. It showed me that people that were less

fortunate could still keep up with the latest fashions, due to the acts of kindness of other people."

Devin Millikan-

"Community Service is something that I honestly didn't think I would ever do. For this being my first time I

found that I actually enjoyed myself. The feeling of both helping my community and working with my

teammates was a wonderful feeling. I've come to realize that community service can be enjoyable, and I

understand the value of working with my team instead of working alone:'

ANC Community Chamber Ensemble Summer European Trip

With this diverse exposure to healthcare, students are made aware of the various healthcare career choices.

Many thanks to ANC, ANC Career Coaches, Great River Medical Center, Ascent Specialty Clinic, Dr. Ashley's office, Local Farm Bureau Agencies and the Farm Bureau Foundation, UAMS staff and medical students, and the many wonderful presenters that shared their expertise. MASH Camp would not have been possible without each of these contributors doing their part.
