Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center is proud to be a partner with The Weidner School of Inquiry. It is imperative that our school systems prepare students for real life experiences. Those enrolled in the Weidner School of Inquiry have the opportunity to learn very important life skills needed to work in the challenging field of health care – teamwork, critical thinking skills and appreciating the importance of being constant learners and seekers of knowledge.
I see the work of WSOI first hand as a mentor for the Bio-Art class. Students are working in together to create artwork of living organisms. The challenge is to put a very exacting science of biology together with the freedom of expression that is considered art. And if one stops to think about it, art and biology share in one very important similarity where the outcome is a beautiful creation.
The Bio-Art class is one of a kind in the nation. The class will allow for creativity but requires study and knowledge to produce the final product – a beautiful piece of Bio-Art.
My best to the students in the Bio-Art class as they travel on a journey towards excellence (and learn a little about art and biology, too)!
