A huge thank you to UTMB DIG Community Outreach Co-Chairs, André Pitt (MS2, right) and Ryan Riahi (MS4, middle), and UTMB DIG member, Jeremy Hall (MS2, left), for bringing our new and improved "Stay Shady!" presentation to Odyssey Academy in Galveston this morning. They taught sixty 4th graders about the importance of sun safety.
After the presentations, students made UV bead bracelets. The UV beads change colors when exposed to UV rays, reminding the students that their skin is being affected by the sun. Additionally, each student was given sunscreen and a pamphlet summarizing key points of the presentation to share with family and friends.
Thank you, Odyssey Academy, for hosting the UTMB DIG and for being such a wonderful audience!
