Beast on the Bay
Bridging the Gaps
Kim Tran, OMS2, was among the LECOM students who volunteered for the Barber Beast on the Bay at Presque Isle State Park. Tran and the other students loaded and unloaded sandbags that competitors carried along the designated course.
Nearly 30 LECOM students devoted 6,000 hours this summer to working with underserved and economically disadvantaged populations through Bridging the Gaps, a community service-focused program designed to help health professionals and others make a difference in their communities. The students developed projects for local nonprofit agencies and organizations.
