Students from Mrs. Daileys human anatomy class traveled to the campus where Dr. Karmen Hollis-Etter, from the universitys Biology department, hosted them. Students were given a tour of the cadaver lab, including actual examination time with the deceased specimens.

Following the cadaver laboratory experience, the upper-level students then attended Cell-ebration coordinated by Dr. Jill Slater of the Biology department. The interactive exhibit showcased biology students research projects as well as scholarly presentations of actual research conducted by students on campus.

The trip to U of M Flint also included a comprehensive tour of the campus and recreational center, including the housing options and extracurricular organizations available.

The New Lothrop students said they found the experience valuable because it helped to promote their understanding of the dynamic educational opportunities and programs available a short drive away at the University of Michigan-Flint, according to school representatives.
