The Brothers of Kappa Psi-Mu Omicron Pi hosted the Fall 2014 Great Lakes Province Assembly last October at Greek-
town Casino-Hotel in our hometown of Detroit. One of the main events for the weekend included a Halloween costume
party held at the chapter house. Each and every one of the brothers worked hard to help coordinate this event, which
turned out to be a memorable success.
Other notable events for Kappa Psi throughout the year included participation in the Gift of Life Campus Challenge,
hosting a Chinese New Year fundraiser, racing in the “Fight for Air Climb” event for the American Lung Association,
and donating sack lunches for the less fortunate to the Neighborhood Service Organization in Detroit, MI. Also, the
Joey’s Comedy Club Fundraiser was held in March 2015 hosted by both Kappa Psi and WHSO.
We are looking forward to another successful year ahead and wish the same for all of the other EACPHS organizations!

Diabetes Education Wellness (DEW) Clinic
This past year we have had a few new and exciting things happen at the Diabetes Education Wellness Clinic.
In the fall we furthered our interdisciplinary mission by adding the WSU Clinical Laboratory Sciences pro-
gram to our expanding list of active disciplines. Thanks to this new addition patients were able to have their
HbA1c levels taken at the DEW Clinic and have the results provided to them and interpreted all within a sin-
gle session. The clinical laboratory sciences students also provided the patients with counseling regarding
proper home blood glucose testing techniques.
Another new happening for the DEW Clinic was the production of our first ever 5K fundraiser. The first annu-
al DEW What You SAY 5K was held by DEW Clinic students in conjunction with the SAY Physical Therapy
Detroit Clinic, which provides physical therapy care to underserved Detroit patients. The race was held on the
morning of April 11
th
at Wayne State University’s main campus. Students across all disciplines of the DEW
Clinic were in attendance along with their friends and family members. The 5K fundraiser was a smashing
success and over $2,000 dollars was raised to be donated to the two clinics. Thank you to all who volunteered
and participated to make this event successful and enjoyable.
As always we would like to thank all of our fantastic faculty and community mentors for all of the support and
time that they gave to the DEW Clinic and its students this year. It has been a wonderful year for the DEW
Clinic and we look forward to another year of learning, productivity, progress and the continuation of provid-
ing interdisciplinary diabetes education and care to the underserved patients of Detroit.
