Western University of Health Sciences had a strong presence at the 6th Pomona 5K & 10K Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, with students and staff participating in the two races.

Third-year COMP student Ryan Burd won the 10K for the second year in a row with a time of 33:08.

WesternU students placed second and third in the female 10K. Third-year College of Podiatric Medicine student Savannah Santiago came in second place and third-year College of Veterinary Medicine student Samara Schreier came in third place. In the photo to the right, Schreier, Santiago, and Burd are shown together after the race.

WesternU was a race sponsor. Part of the race wound through part of the WesternU Esplanade.

Great job representing WesternU. Congratulations!

Western University of Health Sciences will participate in the Great ShakeOut earthquake drill at 10:20 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022.

Everyone on the Pomona and Lebanon campuses are asked to participate except for WesternU Health and the Pet Health Center. At 10:20 a.m., please Drop, Cover and Hold On for one minute.

After the one-minute “Drop, Cover and Hold On” drill, please exit your building (except for all WesternU Health locations and the Pet Health Center). Remember to use the stairs instead of the elevators, use the exit door closest to you and go to your evacuation area. Please follow the directions of the Security Officers or “Safety Coordinators” (they will be the ones wearing the hard hat and safety vest). Roll call for employees will be taken by the Safety Coordinators to assure everyone is accounted for. Click here for the WesternU California campus map then go to “Emergency Services” to see where your evacuation area is located. COMP-Northwest and CHS-Northwest should evacuate to their respective parking lots.
