By Sharon Gray | Dec. 19, 2013

Members of the Medical Education Scholarship Centre (MESC) in the Faculty of Medicine had a special holiday gift for the Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. On Dec. 16 they donated money raised through “Wear Your Jeans to Work” Fridays to help the society in its mission of promoting the development of individual, lifelong, and community-based supports and services for people with autism spectrum disorder, their families, and caregivers.
