When Jennifer Gunderman, M.P.H., assistant lecturer in the School of Community and Population Health, was approached by Peace Corps volunteer Molly Burgess in Uganda looking for donated scrubs for a local clinic, she turned to the generous students at the 海角社区.

Cameron Bubar (COM, 鈥18) coordinated an effort among his fellow medical students. Together, they collected more than 50 scrubs to send to the clinic in Uganda. Burgess says the staff at the clinic loves and appreciates the uniforms. 鈥淓veryone says that they are 鈥榮mart!鈥 Here, that is the highest compliment you can give someone.鈥
