Mission Update: Meet the University of Louisville's Tonia Thomas!

Meet the University of Louisville's Tonia Thomas!

      It is no idle boast when the University of Louisville says, "It's happening here!"  The University of Louisville's School of Medicine is an integral part of a large and growing Health Sciences Center that includes more than 200,000 square feet of state-of-the-art research space, a comprehensive standardized patient clinic and one of the largest academic medical simulation centers in the nation.  One of the reasons for the ongoing success of the University of Louisville's Health Science Center is its people.  A case in point is Tonia Thomas.  Tonia Thomas, Program Director of the Post bac Pre-med Certificate Program, is a Wayside Christian Mission volunteer!  Recently, she recruited four students to join her for some grungy volunteer work at the Mission's Transitional Living Shelter on West Broadway! In spite of the hard work, her crew seemed to be having a good time!   Tonia Thomas is just one of many University of Louisville staff and faculty members who, along with a legion of students, are actively engaged in the work of the Wayside Christian Mission!   We are grateful to our friends from the University of Louisville for caring about our homeless neighbors!
