On Monday , November 19, UTMB DIG members Dung Mac (MS1), Julie Amthor (MS1), and Skylar White (MS1) taught approximately 100 fourth graders about the importance of sun safety at Galveston's Austin Middle School. This fun, interactive presentation is aimed at making kids aware that the sun can damage their skin and inform them how to protect themselves. Thank you to the students of Austin Middle School for being such a great audience, and thanks to our volunteers!
