[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] Hi. I'm Dr. Tami Hendriksz, the chief academic officer of Touro University California. On behalf of our students, staff, and faculty, I am excited to welcome you to our amazing 44-acre campus. Please join me and a few of our students as we show you around our beautiful campus.

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] The screen on the stage of the auditorium opens onto a view from above of a town on a water's edge.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] We are located on the historic Mare Island Naval Shipyard on the banks of the Napa River in Vallejo. And we're just a jump away from both San Francisco and Sacramento. With outstanding interdisciplinary programs that demonstrate our commitment to serve, to lead, and to teach, we offer a variety of health care, public health, and education-focused programs through our three colleges, with faculty and staff dedicated and committed to your success.

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students in caps and gowns sit in the auditorium.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] Visitors entering Touro through the South upper campus enjoy the splendor and history of Farragut Inn. Once known as the Officer's Club, or the O Club, this historic building hosted the grandest of celebrations in the ballroom, with beautiful views overlooking the Napa River. Today, Farragut Inn hosts classroom space for one-of-a-kind dual physician assistant Masters of Public Health program. This program is the only fully combined program in the nation.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] Farragut Inn is also home to our gourmet kosher dining hall, a popular spot for students looking to study or catch up over a meal.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] It is also where you'll find the office for the rabbi.

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A rabbi in a suit and tie, with a beard and glasses and wide-brimmed hat stands at a lectern. A bunch of blue and white balloons are behind him.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] And in keeping with the tradition from our naval history, we still host social and university events in the ballroom.

[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A crowd of people sit and stand in the ballroom as a man in the crowd stands with a microphone. Bunches of balloons are suspended in the background.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] A quick walk through our ballroom takes you to the most majestic view on the island. It is the overlook of the Napa River and our beautiful grove amphitheater. This area hosts Club Day, where students have the opportunity to share with others the wonderful things that make their club special. It also generally serves as a large open area for any and all outdoor activities. It's not uncommon to find students during lunchtime out here in the grove, playing lawn games and just generally enjoying the sunshine.

[YASAMAN LADJEVARDI] Hi, my name is Yasaman Ladjevardi. I'm a PA and MPH student in the College of Education and Health Sciences. Educational space in Wilderman Hall includes a simulated patient lab and objective structured clinical encounters labs, both of which provide structured encounters with patients in a controlled setting. You'll also find the Graduate School of Education and faculty for the nursing, physician assistant, and public health programs. The largest room in Wilderman Hall, also known as the Great Room, is a large study space equipped with a number of different desk and chair settings for daytime or late night study sessions.

Good health, both for students and for the community, plays a large role in who we are as a university. For current students, the Student Health Center includes a licensed nurse practitioner, as well as medical assistants, who can help with non-urgent episodic illnesses, flu vaccines, immunizations, and other similar services. Licensed professionals are also available to provide confidential counseling services.

For our community, the Metabolic Research Center conducts focused research on childhood and adult obesity issues, including diabetes and the effect of diet on metabolism. Finally, the Mobile Diabetes Education Center travels throughout northern California, with faculty and student volunteers to provide free diabetes education, screening, and coaching to members of the community who may not otherwise have access to these resources. In the evenings, our Graduate School of Education and School of Nursing programs are in full swing, while Sundays provide training for teachers, administrators, and nurses.

Lander Hall, named after Touro's founder Dr. Bernard Lander, is the largest instructional space on campus, and plays a host to educational and recreational activities for all university students. Educational spaces include the anatomy lab, osteopathic manipulative medicine lab, and ultrasound lab on one end, with a pharmacy learning center on the other end. The building also includes bench research labs, four large lecture halls, and several study rooms.

Continuing our focus on health, students are invited to take part in a number of different activities in the hand racquetball courts or the full-size gym. Finally, from the white coat ceremonies to our a variety of different presentations, Lander Hall boasts an 800-seat auditorium, complete with a full stage.

[SARAH AGUILAR-VREEBURG] In addition to the grove amphitheater, there are several outdoor spaces for us to enjoy and use as a way to recharge.

[SARAH AGUILAR-VREEBURG] Our meditation garden is a great space to visit and quietly listen to the sounds around you. If you need to work off some nervous energy, you can visit our indoor or outdoor gyms. Both the meditation garden and the outdoor gym were actually created under the direction of our student body.

[DR. TAMI HENDRIKSZ] Our mission at Touro University California is to serve, to lead, and to teach.
