A Message From Your Host: Priscilla Cadwell
Welcome parents and family of the Class of 2024!
As parents of a daughter (Marie Cadwell) in PNWU’s very first class, we know the concern most first year students face as information comes at them seemingly through a firehose.
Know YOU are their rock! My personal advice for you is pretty obvious: give your student a LOT of support, encouragement, and grace as they adjust to the demands of medical school. And, if you can, send a care package, food, or gift card randomly!
