After the program’s competition testing that accompanies the end of the first semester, Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) officers and members came together to celebrate with a social on Friday, Dec. 1, sharing food, selling vintage T-shirts, and uniting members of the organization.
“It was nice knowing that HOSA is back and running smoothly after having a late start,” HOSA Vice President Sophia He ‘25 said.
The social —which also functioned as a fundraiser for the organization— marks the beginning of HOSA’s year, which will continue with area, state, and international conferences in the spring semester. At each conference, members compete across several health industry competitive events in hopes of advancing to subsequent rounds. For HOSA officers on campus, it is a responsibility to plan events and socials throughout the year for members of the organization, aside from competitions and conferences.
“The officer team is super excited to compete this year and host more socials,” He said. “We are looking forward to another successful semester of HOSA filled with competitions, traveling, and events.”
