TUHMAA Welcome - Students and New Faculty
A good time was had by all at a TUHMAA event welcoming students and new faculty. Susan Kaup (President-TUHMAA) and her husband, Mike Remshard, hosted the event at their home in the Fairmount/Art Museum neighborhood in Philadelphia, a short distance from Temple University. With over 20 faculty, students, and alumni in attendance, it provided a networking opportunity for all. In particular, Healthcare Management alumni and industry partners and practitioners had the chance to meet new faculty and also the new and 2nd year students. It is anticipated that this will become a yearly event.
