Wayne State University School of Medicine and the Ascension Foundation for Health Equity are partnering to host more than 250 Detroit middle school students to the WSU medical campus.

Ascension's #GOALS (Go Out And Love Science) initiative is a one-day event designed to expose 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to a potential future in healthcare through hands-on activities and small group interaction with a diverse group of medical students and professionals.

The day is structured like a typical school day, with students moving between activities every 30 minutes, which are hosted by medical students and professionals. The middle school participants are engaged and encouraged to consider what could be possible in the future if they study science today.

The full day's agenda is below. For more information, please visit www.theascensionfoundation.org/goals.
