Miami University: Nu Rho Psi

Our major events planned this year included information tables held both at the university as well as at a small park in the Oxford Community and a lecture on brain tumors given by Dr. Breneman, a professor of radiation oncology and neurosurgery. The community outreach was unfortunately canceled this year due to the weather, but it has been successful in the past. Our information tables usually include a day of trivia, prizes, and pamphlets that we use to spark interest. The second day usually includes demonstrations such as a human-human interface, muscle spiker box, and vision impairment goggles in order to promote knowledge about brain research and how it can help the community. Our lecture this year was very successful as the professor we brought it was very enthusiastic and really focused on educating students in an interesting way. Overall, our events seemed to have an impact on the community even if it was small. Our events are not quite as large as we would like them to be, however this is something to improve upon in the future.
