Hi MSAers,
We are happy to inform you that KP Clinical Lab field trip has been scheduled! This trip would be great for those of you who are interested in becoming a CLS and for those who want to explore different career options before committing. Here are the details:

(818) 503-6878

There are a few rules that have to be followed. Attendees must do the following:

- E-mail csun.msa@gmail.com as soon as possible if you are planing to come and/or if you are planing to bring a guest (we need to know approximately how many people are attending)
- Arrive on time. Unfortunately, the lady (Mickey Amos, Assistant Director) who'll be guiding the field trip has a tight schedule, so we have to start and finish on time
- Wear close toed shoes and long pants

- No photography within the premises (outside is OK)
Hope to see everyone there!
Anna,
MSA President
