MONDAY: ACHIEVEMENTS

Forensic anthropologist achieves highest certification; faculty member speaks on safety for a diverse workforce; piano students get teaching time; and more

A student looks at a reading on a grip-strength testing device while four other students watch him, one holding her hand in a gripping position, in an arena fair-type setting

Warming Up to What’s out There

Like IUP Day in the fall, Winter Warm-Up is a chance for students to learn more about campus organizations they might want to get involved in. Many groups and local businesses were on hand February 4 in the Kovalchick Complex for this year’s event. Colton Platt, left, a junior majoring in community health education, demonstrated use of a hand dynamometer to measure grip strength.

“It’s not about having a safety program for every single person, . . . but about understanding that people bring their backgrounds and everything they are to the workplace.”

—Luz Marin, Department of Safety Sciences, at the American Society of Safety Professionals’ online conference
