Current SHAC PT Manager, Louisa Bynum, reflected on the experience, noting how the <\/span>event unders<\/span>c<\/span>ored SHAC\u2019s larger purpose. \u201cThe 5K is a fun celebration and way to sustain SHAC\u2019s mission, but the real impact happens in the clinic every week when students and providers come together to serve our community. Being a part of SHAC has been an amazing experience\u2014I’ve loved learning alongside students from other health disciplines, while serving those who might not otherwise have access to care.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Congratulations to first-year student Correy Fairchild (bottom left) who was the first overall finisher, and second-year student Sydney Peterson (bottom right) who placed third overall among females!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
