TouroCOM-Harlem students unwind with a surprise visit from some adorable furry friends

March 12, 2015

To take a break from studying for their upcoming exams, practicals, and Boards, TouroCOM-Harlem students were treated to a surprise visit from some cute, furry puppies.

Organized by the presidents of SSP (Priyal Bhagat), AMSA (Sally Ziatabar), AMA (Celsa Tonelli), and SOMA (Sean Sussman), the event was a rousing success. One hundred fifty students spent some time playing and petting the three-month-old pups in a brief reprieve from the rigorous workload of medical school.  

"It was the perfect way to relax," said second-year student Jacques Townsend.

Aileen Babaran, OMS-I, agreed."I've never seen so many stressed medical students so collectively happy before!”
