🐔💚 Meet Clucky — the newest member of our MLS family!

The Emory Healthcare Medical Laboratory Science Program received the sweetest surprise from our friends at the Akron Cooperative Medical Laboratory Science Program — a hand-crocheted Emotional Support Chicken made especially for us in Emory colors!

After connecting with Tracy Frankowski, Program Director of the Akron Cooperative MLS Program, Angela Baxter, our director, received this very special package for our Class of 2027 and those to follow.

Tracy shared that their students have two emotional support chickens of their own that get plenty of hugs during stressful exam days. Now our students have one too — and they've officially named him Clucky! 🐔

As you can see, Clucky is already getting plenty of love. 🤗💚

A heartfelt thank you to Frankowski, Mary, Jen, and the students of the Akron Cooperative MLS Program for such a thoughtful and encouraging gift.

Gestures like this are a wonderful reminder that although our students may train in different programs, they are becoming part of a much larger community of laboratory professionals who support, encourage, and cheer one another on.

We have a feeling Clucky is going to be very busy around exam time! 😂🐔📚🔬

Here's to the friendships, the late-night study sessions, and the memories we’re making along the way.

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Ritchie, one of our recent MLS graduates who went back into the community to inspire the next generation of scientists!

He led a Career Day session at a local elementary school—complete with an activity sheet, a kid-friendly PowerPoint, and lots of hands-on fun.

And he didn’t go alone—his mentee, Jaden, tagged along to help bring the world of Medical Laboratory Science to life.

This is what paying it forward looks like. 🌟
Our labs need more bright, passionate scientists, and we’re so proud of our students for stepping up and sharing the magic of our field.

Well done, Ritchie & Jayden! 🧪❤️
