The ɫ Student Government Association and ɫ African Students Association hosted the second annual Charity Fashion Show at Palms Court Gardens on Saturday, October 11, 2014. This year's theme was "Castaway: Fierce Survival." Here's a look at the many great photos of the fashions of the evening, many of which were modeled by students and even a professor from ɫ, one of the best Caribbean medical schools around.

The last segment was cultural, in which students were given the opportunity to showcase music, dancing and clothing from various countries. Kajali Hanley Gumbs is a St Kitts native that portrayed his love for St. Kitts while dancing with the island's flag.

ɫ:

Built in the tradition of the best US universities, the University of Medicine and Health Sciencesfocuses on individual student attention, maintaining small class sizes and recruiting high-quality faculty. We call this unique approach, “personalized medical education,” and it’s what has led to our unprecedented 96% student retention rate, and outstanding residency placements across the US and Canada. ɫ is challenging everything you thought you knew about Caribbean medical schools.
