Helping the Community Through Bowling

May 8, 2020

American Business Clubs (AMBUCS), is a century-old membership organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities. For the past 50 plus years, Savannah AMBUCS has hosted a League of Exceptional Bowlers for people with various disabilities. On Saturdays, the League is joined by a group of Georgia Southern University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students for a unique out-of-classroom experience where they spend their time assisting bowlers to promote an inclusive and competitive environment. In addition to the hands-on experience, DPT students have an opportunity to interact with various community members.

Each year, students pursuing careers in the allied health professions and volunteering with AMBUCS are given an opportunity to apply for a Savannah AMBUCS Scholarship. Twelve DPT students have been awarded scholarships totaling over $17,000. Each scholarship ranged from $500 to $3000.

The following DPT students were awarded a scholarship:

  • Alexandra Adams
  • Luke Thayer
  • Mirim Gritis
  • Averi Donaldson
  • Mary Carpenter
  • Nicole Ebel
  • Phil Miller
  • Kyle Marlow
  • Ashley Chafin
  • Taylor Lane
  • Isaac Milliken
  • Kylee McCluskey

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
