Medical school's rave promote wellness
Mychal Miltenberger , Kyle Lord and Scott McCoy | April 23The School of Medicine will host the campus’ first rave, but attendees won’t be heading to an empty warehouse in the dead of night for this one – it will be in the morning. Lori Peterkin, assistant director of advancement at the School of Medicine, said the event Friday morning was conceived to celebrate the school’s 50th anniversary and is designed to promote physical activity and positive energy in a non-traditional way. “The morning rave is sort of a new concept. Raves in general have been associated with a nighttime, drug- and alcohol-type thing,” she said. “There has been a new movement throughout the world that started in big cities like London and Hong Kong, where they have morning raves that have been focused on some form of wellness.”
