Seeking career and life mentors for undergraduate students

WVU Microbiology, Immunology and Cell Biology Department, in collaboration with the WVU School of Medicine Health Professions and the WVU School of Public Health are looking for professionals to serve as career and life mentors to undergraduate students. Ideally, we would like for these mentors to be in professional fields that intersect with health disparities that are prevalent in West Virginia and rural Appalachia. If you are interested in participating in this mentorship program, please fill out the following Qualtrics survey: https://wvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1BKHds9NPm4BEhw.  Feel free to reach out to Kelly Collins (kelly.collins3@hsc.wvu.edu) with any questions that you may have.

Standing desk not the answer to decreasing blood pressure, WVU research shows

Researchers also found that too much standing during work may have negative effects on cardiovascular health.
