Walk-a- thon for Parkinsons Disease

We (the WWWY team) are holding the Walkathon this Friday for fundraising and raising awareness. The donation will be sent to the Michael J Fox foundation for finding cures through funded research agenda. Please participate!

Advisors: please support us by taking your Advisory groups out to the track at about 8:10am on Friday morning. Students can walk around the track to show support for people who have Parkinson’s Disease.

What do you know about Parkinson’s? Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder that slows movement over time, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming. They may shake their hands as they hold their cup of coffee or may be difficult to get out of a chair.

Parkinson’s disease doesn’t go away and continues to get worse over time. There’s currently no clear cure for Parkinson’s disease, but only treatments that help relieve the symptoms. Even drugs become less effective over periods, and they need to be changed multiple times.

‘We Walk With You’ service group aim to raise awareness and support patients with Parkinson’s disease, especially young patients.

Chat GPT Sessions Today, Tomorrow, and Friday

Recent advances in Artificial intelligence (AI) are a force for disruption across all fields, including (and maybe especially) education. Open AI’s Chat GPT is now a freely available online AI program that mimics human learning, thought, creativity, and written expression.

Shannon and Kasson would like to show you this tool. They will offer three repeat 25-minute lunchtime sessions this week (Wednesday-Friday) at 12:30pm in D243. Please come along; all are welcome!
