WMUK s Andy Robins speaks with Western Regional Health Education Center Director Lisa Brennan
The project will pair students at four schools in Kent and Newaygo counties with mentors who are undergraduates at Western Michigan University at Grand Valley State University.
Lisa Brennan is the head of the Western Regional Health Education Center based at Western Michigan University s College of Health and Human Services, which is running the project. She says the ninth and tenth graders involved in the Health Careers Pipeline Program will get experiences they might not otherwise have. They ll do hands-on activities that expose them to actual activities that health and human service providers would be doing in their day-to-day job.
