Elizabethtown College introduces new medical laboratory science program

-

Elizabethtown College is looking to fill in-demand healthcare jobs with a new program.

Starting in the fall semester, students can major in Medical Laboratory Science. The program features two paths: a traditional four-year degree or spending three years at E-town and one receiving clinical training in a medical lab.

“We often get students who have an interest in health care,” said Jeff Rood, a professor of chemistry and department chair at E-town. “They might not know what they want to do with that interest. So it’s just one more option for them to blend kind of the science and that health care field together for a career and one that is in demand.”

A recent study by the American Society for Clinical Pathology showed demand for jobs in the field is expected to grow by 8 and a half percent over the next decade

Madam Efunroye Tinubu

-
Born in the Egbaland of the Yoruba people of West Africa at the beginning of the nineteenth century, Tinubu learned commerce from her grandmother, a successful trader. As a young woman Tinubu married a local man and bore him two sons, but she was widowed following the family’s migration to the town of Abeokuta in 1830. Shortly afterward she met Adele, a deposed king of Lagos, married him, and moved with her new husband and sons to the coastal town of Badagry, where Adele was temporarily recognized as ruler. Tinubu arrived in Badagry at a time when the then illegal Atlantic slave trade was peaking on the eastern Slave Coast. Although her sons soon died, she used two slaves, allegedly a gift from her father, to trade between Abeokuta and the coast in slaves and other commodities. Never again blessed with children, she invested her growing income from trade in slaves and other retainers, beginning the process of amassing personal followers and expanding her commercial operations.
