Involvement in the Community

MHA Students manage to have the time to get involved in community activities, often through SOURCE Student Outside Research Center. Members of the Class of 2019 participated in SOURCE’s President’s Day of Giving by volunteering at the Under Armor House with the Living Classroom Foundation.

Learning From History

A visit to the Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg is incorporated in the 4th term Strategic Planning course. The tour is led by a licensed battlefield guide and the goal is to provide lessons about strategy, leadership, communication, and decision making.

Professional Development

MHA students are encouraged to become members of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). Each year the Maryland Chapter of ACHE counts on the participation and support of local MHA residents for its annual fall program.
