Joseph Ott ’26, a student in our MedPath program, recently traveled to the City of Erie to receive an official proclamation declaring September as Service Dog Awareness Month in both Erie County and the City of Erie.

His advocacy is deeply personal, inspired by his grandmother’s journey with sight loss and the vital role service dogs play in supporting independence and quality of life. By bringing awareness to this important cause, he is helping to educate the community and honor those who rely on service animals every day.

We are proud of his accomplishments and the compassion and leadership he demonstrates both inside and outside of the classroom. #Prep #Community

Students from our MedPath program and Anatomy & Physiology courses recently participated in an advanced educational experience at Gannon University’s Gross Anatomy Laboratory.

During the visit, students had the opportunity to engage with four cadavers, providing them with a rare and profound perspective on human anatomy. The experience was enhanced by discussions with current physician assistant and pre-medical students, who shared their insights on academic preparation and career pathways in healthcare. In addition, students attended a lecture highlighting the history of cadaver use in medical education, underscoring both the scientific and ethical importance of this practice.

This partnership offers students a meaningful extension of classroom learning while fostering respect for the individuals who make such study possible through body donation. The experience reflects Prep’s mission to prepare students through early exposure to real-world settings. #Prep #MedPath #Anatomy

Anne-Marie Welsh joined us today for a presentation on Saint Carlo Acutis, who was just recently canonized by Pope Leo XIV. She spoke about his life and his journey toward sainthood, paying particular attention to stories told by his mother. As a young saint, there are many ways that Saint Carlo Acutis is relatable to our students who heard the presentation today. In recognition of a New Year’s tradition that the Acutis family has, every student was able to pick a saint as they left the auditorium today to help guide them on their journey. #Prep #Faith ✝️
