The KHS CMT would like to invite everyone to the annual (3rd year) Multiple Sclerosis Walk on Saturday May 2nd at 10:00am. There will be a 1-mile and 3-mile loop option. Please bring family, friends and friendly leashed dogs.

The event kicks off at 9:45 am and we start walking at 10:00am. We will meet at Richmond Raceway 600 E Laburnum Ave. Richmond, VA 23222.

This will be a great way to wind down the semester and be social for a few minutes.

We are excited to invite you to attend the KHS Student Research Day, taking place tomorrow (Thursday, 4/16) from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on the 6th floor of the STEM Building.

This event is a great opportunity to explore a wide range of interesting research projects conducted by your fellow KHS undergraduate and graduate students. We encourage you to stop by the poster sessions and presentations, engage with presenters, and learn more about ongoing research within our department.

Whether you are currently involved in research or simply interested in learning more, your participation is highly encouraged.

We look forward to seeing you there!
