Marine to art major: ‘Art never really stopped for me, even while at war’
“Making art in general has been very therapeutic for me," said Edna Martinez, a former Marine now art grad. "It's not just a passion anymore. It's become a necessity.”
The Student Clinical Laboratory Science Association (SCLSA) at Augusta University is a recognized professional organization under the Student Government Association (SGA) (https://www.augusta.edu/student-life/sga/), an entity of Augusta University Student Life & Engagement.
The purpose of the SCLSA at Augusta University:
The SCLSA has a set of adopted bylaws to assist the organization in policy making decisions (see link - ???). The charter of the SCLSA must be renewed annually through the SGA by the organization. A faculty advisor will be appointed for the organization.
Membership in the SCLSA is required. The organization collects dues each semester that students are enrolled in the program. The organization also conducts fundraising events. Proceeds from fundraising events are used to support student activities such as travel to local and regional events related to the profession.
All CLS students are also members of the American Clinical Laboratory Science Association (ASCLS) at both the state and national levels. The department of Undergraduate Health Professions (UHP) pays for first year dues to the ASCLS. After that, students are responsible for maintaining dues on a yearly basis to this organization.

“Paulette had such a passion for learning, and she strived to make certain that everyone she encountered had the skills they needed to succeed.”
“I hope it inspires some of them who received scholarships like I did, that they will do the same when they have the means to give back.”
“Since the day I set foot on campus, I have been so proud of the academic achievements, community engagement and career success of our students and alumni."
