He\u2019s looking forward to talking with other students about their educational goals. The club also will provide a place for students to explore shadowing opportunities, prepare for tests, network, and get involved in community service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of camaraderie working in health care, and I think that will be reflected in the club,\u201d Samitt says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will be able to make suggestions as to the goals and roles of the club through a survey. Initially, meetings and activities will be held virtually, with plans to expand to in-person, on-campus events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For details, contact Jessica Miller at <a href=\"mailto:jessica.l.miller@wilmu.edu\">jessica.l.miller@wilmu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to form relationships with other students on their way to careers in health care?
