I develop apps for Apple and our PAT: Perceptual Ability Test app is changing from paid to free starting next week, but only for 7 days. If you have pre-dental students that are studying for the DAT and want hundreds of PAT questions for free the link to the app is: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pat-perceptual-ability-test/id481136093?mt=8

We will also be releasing the PAT Help Center app that will feature video tutorials, DAT helps, dental news, and much more. If you are interested in knowing about the release please let me know.

Give my best to your biology department and pre-dental club,

Tricity Health Fair at Weber High School

wsupredent — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:01:39 +0000

The Dental Hygiene Dept. here at WSU has given us an opportunity to attend the Tricity Health Fair at Weber High School. A few of the hygiene students will be attending and we have been asked to find eight students to help out.

This is a great opportunity because we are trying to build a good relationship with the hygiene dept. so we can become aware of the dept. as well as increase our knowledge about dentistry.

The event:

Where: Weber High School (Pleasant View)

When: November 8th (pick a time shift on the sign-up sheet in Ali Miller’s Office in the SL buildin on the 2nd floor)

Time: Shifts are 5pm-6:30pm and 6:30pm-8pm

Of all the school visits to attend this will be one of the BEST and MOST IMPORTANT!

It would be nice to see a bunch of students attend this event so do whatever you need to do to attend!!!!

That means find someone to watch your kids, Study for that quiz/exam the day before, find someone to take your shift at work, whatever you have planned for that day cancel it and make it to this meeting. WE HAD 6 STUDENTS GET ACCEPTED AND 5 ATTEND LOUISVILLE LAST YEAR!!!! Lets try and keep up this good relationship!!!

Need input for future communication

Hi predents,

This is Michael Crippen your VP of Communications. I wanted to take a moment and talk to you.

Are you using the Blog to be made aware of upcoming events?

Were you aware of the visit by Dalhousie?

If not have you checked your email, have you registered and confirmed your e-mail address to receive e-mail every time I update the blog?

Have you used the link below to join our facebook group?

BTW the link and address is also linked in the signature below every e-mail. For some reason a search for our group on face book doesn’t seem to work. I have been talking to people who did not know about the event. It is time consuming to send and e-mail, update a blog, and create an invitation for our facebook group. I personally would like to use the blog and/or facebook group because of the ability to give feedback, post picture, etc. which we can not do with a simple e-mail system.

One more question do we need to put up a poster every time we have an event?

Please give me your feedback and your thoughts on the blog.
