Hi everyone,
As if I need more encouragement to not study, the School of Public Health had its All-School Winter reception today. It was held at the Weisman Art Museum (on campus) this afternoon. And let me say I think the SPH has some money - we were served food, wine and beer AND there was a live band! In addition, I got roped into playing the annual game between divisions. This year the game was modeled after the 70's hit Match Game, only with a public health twist (sort of) and hosted by Dean Finnegan. Each team (one for Biostat, one for Epi, etc.) had a student, faculty and staff representative and there was a group of panelists representing each division as well. Each team had a white board and their goal was to answer fill-in-the-blank questions and match as many of the panelists' answers as possible. For example, one of the questions used our own Division head, Dr. Connett as part of the example. It was: "Dr. Connett's motto is "Safety First". When he rides to work on his bike he always wears a helmet and a _______". Despite the lack of students among the panelists, it got pretty risque pretty fast...it was lots of fun! I'll break the suspense and say that Biostatistics did not win, but we did come close and in my opinion had the funniest answers! I ended up really enjoying being part of the game and highly recommend to everyone who is around next year to attend the reception!
Now back to studying...two more finals to go! Have a great weekend.
