Cardiovascular disease affects 1 in 3 adults in the
United States. The Barry natural and health sciences student organizations have
teamed up and will be participating at the 2012 Miami-Dade Heart Walk on October
6, 2012 to help raise awareness of this statistic as wells as funds to support
research and educational initiatives. In an event organized by the Minority
Association of Pre-Health Students (MAPS), pre-health organizations on campus
participated in a kickball tournament on Saturday September 29, raising $150,
with all proceeds going to the American Heart Association. So far, the teams
have raised $350+ overall. Participating student organizations included the
Barry chapters of MAPS, Tri Beta Biological Honor Society, American Medical
Student Association (AMSA), the Pre-Physician Assistant Association (PASA),
MALES, and the BMS society. To sign up or donate to the Barry student team
