During Pride Month, we honor and acknowledge the movers and shakers who are making an impact in our field.

Cancer changes lives in profound ways — but so does survival. On National Cancer Survivors Day, all of us in FSHD honor the strength, resilience, and courage of those who have faced cancer and continue to inspire others through their journeys. Today is not only a celebration of survival, but also a reminder of the importance of hope, support, early detection, and continued advocacy for everyone impacted by cancer.

During Pride Month, we honor and acknowledge the movers and shakers who are making an impact in our field.

Pride Month begins today! 🌈
This month is a celebration of love, identity, community, and the ongoing fight for equality. It’s a time to honor the voices, stories, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people everywhere — and to continue building spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and proud to be themselves.

FSHD mini-gatherings are always full of laughter and smiles! This week we celebrated the end of the 2025-26 year and the graduation of 2 wonderful graduate assistants (GAs) with Administrative Services Coordinator Lisa Mills, Dr. Soyoung Lee, GAs Mary Healy and Alicia Rivera, Dr. Pauline Garcia-Reid, Dr. Robert Reid, and Department Chair Dr. Lyndal Khaw.
