MILLIGAN COLLEGE, TN (March 27, 2003) – Students, faculty and staff will be able to take part in free tests and demonstrations, including skin cancer screenings, visual and glaucoma screenings and massage therapy demonstrations, at the Wellness Fair 2003 on Thursday, April 3, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Milligan Student Center.
