Holiday Spirit on Display in Health Sciences

Faculty and staff members from the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy Office of Student Services pause for a selfie after decorating the restrooms near their office in Drachman Hall. The decorating team includes (from left): Barb Collins, Maia Schneider, Kristy Cain, Jeannie Lee, PharmD, BCPS, BCGP, FASHP, LuzMaria Hernandez, Anna Hernandez, Laura Lee and Rebecca Field.

The next time you need to step away from your desk to stretch your legs, consider strolling around the University of Arizona Health Sciences’ campuses in Tucson or Phoenix to look at some of the clever and beautiful holiday decorations. You may find yourself humming or even singing seasonal favorites as you experience the festive spaces.

While Health Sciences Connect doesn’t normally direct people to bathrooms, we are making an exception this holiday season. If you are on the Tucson UArizona Health Sciences campus, pay a visit to the ground floor restrooms in Drachman Hall next to the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy Office of Student Services – it will be worth it.

And if you are at the Phoenix Bioscience Core, check out the tree that would make Ernie from Sesame Street (cue rubber ducky song in your head) very happy. It is in the office of Tony Malaj, executive director of campus management and operations for UArizona College of Medicine – Phoenix.

Enjoy the decorations and happy holidays!
