In recognition of National Rubber Ducky Day on January 13, our department hosted a special event that brought together faculty, staff, and students for a day of connection and creativity. The celebration included coffee with Department Chair Dr. Sallie Permar, hands-on crafts, and the official introduction of our new department mascot. The rubber ducky mascot symbolizes approachability, community, and a spirit of engagement, and will serve as a recognizable presence at future Children's Health events and initiatives. The event highlighted our department’s commitment to fostering a welcoming and collaborative environment.
