March 22, 2021 at 6:38 PMApprovedSt. Mary's Virtual Card DriveSOMA03/22/202104/05/2021SOMA will be putting together a card making event. St. Mary's of Erie has requested that SOMA try to collect cards to give to their residents for Easter/Spring. This will be a contactless event, and we propose having card collection boxes at all three campus locations, either outside or inside the first set of doors, so Hybrid students are able to donate at their respective campuses. An officer from SOMA, who is already a hybrid student at each campus location, will be responsible for dropping off the box/envelope on Monday and collecting it on Friday. Kaitlyn is a hybrid PBL student at Bayfront and would be responsible for the Bayfront collection box; Rachel is a hybrid student at West and would be responsible for the West collection box; Garrett and Ellie are hybrid students at Main and would be responsible for the Main collection box. We will advertise this event to the entire Class of 2024, and LECOM Erie Community, so they are able to participate. Our option for online students to participate will be for them to mail their cards either directly to St. Mary's or have the option of mailing cards to Main to be put in the collection box, then all cards will be turned in at once. At the conclusion of the Card drive, SOMA will arrange a date and time to drop off the cards at St. Mary’s. This will be done in a contact-free manner.
August 25, 2025 at 2:43 PMExpiredHands of the Future - Vector Release WorkshopSOMA08/25/202509/19/2025SOMA will be hosting an opportunity for student members to gain the "Hands of the Future" by attending a workshop on Dynamic Strain & Vector Release, a technique created by one of our own - Dr. Hendryx. Dr. Hendryx will start by walking through a brief PowerPoint about the history/background of the theory before teaching the approach to students in three steps. Students will learn how to 1) identify a key lesion, 2) remove a trauma vector, and 3) treat a dynamic strain dysfunction utilizing the vector release technique. This is a great opportunity for students to experience an up and coming, integrative technique while extending their toolbox to help future patients.
