Scholarship
opportunity
Funded by a donation from the physicians and surgeons at the
Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, at least six
$1,500 college scholarships will be awarded in May to Lane Coun-
ty’s most promising high school seniors from The Slocum Research
& Education Foundation. This scholarship opportunity is available
only to local high school seniors who are interested in pursuing
health-related education and training. The deadline to apply for the
College Scholarship Program for High School Seniors is March 30,
2018. Submissions are welcomed through the Slocum Foundation
website at www.slocumfoundation.org.
The Slocum Foundation’s Scholarship Program targets
well-rounded high school seniors who plan to pursue a career in
healthcare, health-related research, and public or community
health. Applicant requirements include a grade point average of 3.0
or higher and a signifi cant fi nancial need. Additionally, strong ap-
plicants must demonstrate academic achievement, involvement in
extracurricular activities, leadership activities, dedication to com-
munity service, and outstanding letters of recommendation.
In offering this competitive college scholarship over the past
eight years, recipients have been supported in their aspirations for
attending technical school, community college, public universities,
and Ivy League institutions.
“Our high school graduates have really incredible ambitions,
from 3-D printing of blood cells at Carnegie Mellon to serving our
most vulnerable populations and impacting maternal health and
birth outcomes,” said Dr. Brick Lantz, Slocum Center orthopedic
surgeon and President of the Slocum Research & Education Foun-
dation’s Board of Directors. “And we continue to be impressed with
our applicants for their academic merit and commitment to commu-
nity service.”
The Slocum Research & Education Foundation’s mission is to
improve musculoskeletal care across the lifespan through commu-
nity-based research, education, and collaboration and supports this
through the development of future healthcare professionals through
this annual college scholarship program.
Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, the Pacifi c
Northwest's premier provider of progressive orthopedic care, and
The Slocum Research and Education Foundation have worked col-
laboratively to provide the Eugene community and the surround-
ing areas advanced, highly specialized musculoskeletal care and
community-based research and education for nearly 30 years. Both
named in honor of Donald B. Slocum, M.D., a world-recognized
leader in orthopedics and considered one of the founding fathers
of sports medicine as an orthopedic subspecialty, Slocum and The
Slocum Foundation continue the tradition of innovation and lead-
ership through research, commitment to advancing musculoskeletal
care training, and community partnerships. Slocum is The Offi cial
Orthopedic Sports Medicine Team Physicians for University of Or-
egon Athletics Since 1967.

Spring break: Tips to
keep kids engaged
Anywhere from between one to three month’s worth of educa-
tional achievement can dissipate during prolonged breaks from the
classroom. To help ensure that those hard-earned lessons are not
so easily forgotten, parents can help children remain intellectually
engaged in various ways over school breaks.
• Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to school,
with children waking at the same time each day and going to bed
at similar hours. This will make it much easier to get back into a
routine when school starts again.
• Encourage reading. Set aside time for reading each day. All it
generally takes is 15 to 30 minutes of reading per day for kids to
remember their vocabulary lessons and maintain their fl uency and
comprehension skills.
• Keep a math book handy. On long car trips or rainy days, chil-
dren can do a few math problems to keep their skills sharp.
• Plan educational trips. Vacations and day trips can be fun, en-
tertaining and educational all at the same time. Science centers,
museums and living history locations can bring to life information
learned in the classroom, even on family vacations.
• Learn at camp. Many children attend camp for a portion of their
school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply babysit children,
but engage them through enrichment activities.
• Take a class. Children and families can learn together by explor-
ing new skills. Enroll in something educational and enjoyable, such
as a music or dance class, a STEM seminar or something else that
engages the mind and body. This gives everyone a chance to learn
something new and have a great time together as a family.
Parents and educators can reduce lesson loss over school breaks
by encouraging families to remain intellectually engaged in any
way they can.
