	March 14, 2022 at 11:04 AM	Approved	Fighting the Opioid Epidemic	SOMA	03/14/2022	04/28/2022	Idea: SOMA will be hosting a talk by Dr. Richard Morgan, DO who is currently a clinical faculty instructor at the NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, NY. This will be a virtual event through Zoom from 6-7PM EST in which Dr. Morgan will share his experience navigating addiction in the past and his path of recovery. He will share how to understand the signs and symptoms of addiction in health care professionals, and he will make us more aware of the ongoing opioid epidemic. Why: One of the pillars of SOMA’s overdose prevention task force is harm reduction. Harm reduction is a public health tactic that is used to reduce the consequences of drug misuse and overdose. Dr. Morgan will identify these consequences as they relate to opioid use, and how we, as medical students, can take action to fight the growing opioid epidemic in the United States. It will also allow students to ask any questions that they may have regarding this issue.
	December 26, 2025 at 8:50 AM	Expired	Student OMM Clinic	SAAO	12/26/2025	01/07/2026	I. Purpose Students will gain hands-on experience interacting with patients and apply osteopathic manipulative medicine techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal dysfunctions. II. Background Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (Erie campus) is renowned for its osteopathic medical education. Despite its strong educational framework, there is a lack of extracurricular opportunities to interact directly with patients during the preclinical years, which would be essential for medical student professional development and preparation for clerkship years. This lack of accessible clinical experiences prompted the idea for this clinic. It aims to bridge the gap by offering real-world practice opportunities for osteopathic medical students. Exposure to osteopathic manipulative treatment in practice can reinforce their understanding and appreciation of osteopathic principles, thereby fostering a deeper commitment to the methods and practices they are taught. Furthermore, the establishment of this clinic is not only beneficial for the students but also for the community. It provides an essential service to underserved populations, improving healthcare access and outcomes. By integrating osteopathic practices into community healthcare, the clinic promotes the growth and recognition of osteopathy as a vital component of modern medicine. III. Goals and Objectives  Goals: 1. Create a dynamic learning environment where osteopathic medical students can apply their knowledge and hone their clinical skills under the guidance of experienced DOs. 2. Implement best practices for clinic administration, including efficient patient flow, accurate record-keeping, and compliance with healthcare regulations. 3. Provide accessible, high-quality osteopathic manipulative treatment to underserved populations, improving overall health outcomes within the community. 4. Position the clinic as a leading example of osteopathic care within the community, fostering greater acceptance and utilization of osteopathic medical practices.  Objectives: 1. Enhance community health by providing osteopathic manipulative treatment to 10 patients per clinic session. 2. Organize 1 clinic session per month, potentially increasing the number of monthly sessions after the first year. IV. Description  Duration: Each clinic visit will span approximately one hour, allowing time for students and preceptors to engage in practice and patient care.  Location: On campus or Plaza 38 Medical Center  Patient visit: • Mass emails will be sent to invite LECOM faculty, staff, and students as clinic patients. • Prior to each clinic session, all students will participate in preparatory sessions. These sessions will ensure uniformity in approach and readiness among students. • Patient records will be kept as e-charts • One first-year and one second-year student will work together for each visit: o First-year student: Observes and assists with documentation o Second-year student: Conducts history/physical examination, formulates diagnoses, and develops a treatment plan based on findings • The attending physician reviews the students' findings and guides the treatment process. They will provide feedback and reassessment of patient dysfunctions. • The second-year student will perform osteopathic manipulative treatments on the patient and reassess dysfunctions with the attending physician. • Plan for future visit Clinic dates for The 2026 academic year are as follows: 1/7, 2/4, 3/4, 4/1, 5/6. Students will arrive to the clinic by 17:00 to prepare for patients to arrive at 17:30 for the start of the clinic.
	February 11, 2019 at 4:01 PM	Rejected	Jo Coffee Fundraiser	SOMA	02/11/2019	02/21/2019	I would place a bulk order for coffee once the fundraiser ends and then the coffee would be shipped to LECOM. I will then distribute it to students who have purchased. Forty two percent of the proceeds will go to us. Then half of the money can be donated to Love and Hope Children's Home in El Salvador via their website to help buy medication for the children there. The other half will go to Dr. Mendez, an infectious disease physician, at the San Rafael Hospital in San Salvador. She will use the money to buy baby formula for HIV positive mothers and toward installing indoor plumbing for them.

	January 12, 2024 at 10:05 AM	Approved	Donation Drive for Mental Health Association of NW Pennsylvania	Neuropsych Club	01/12/2024	02/12/2024	I would like to organize a donation drive for the Mental Health Association (MHA) of NW Pennsylvania with collections lasting for two weeks: Monday 2-12-24 to Friday 2-23-24. Many of the clients at MHA are unhoused individuals and with the coming winter months it is more important than ever to get these folks what they need to endure. Approximately 25-30% of unhoused people face serious mental health or substance use disorders (1). I believe this to be a good opportunity to help out a population of people that we as future practitioners will invariably treat; from the Psychiatrist's office to the ER. MHA has a premade flier asking for socks, underwear, and T-shirts which you will find attached. I would like to expand the scope of the drive to any usable winter gear that people may be willing to donate. Our point of contact at MHA is Mary Sackett (814-452-4462 ext. 132, MSACKETT@mhanp.org) and she has expressed that any little bit will help. For students that donate I would like to provide them with the maximum number of volunteer hours that is appropriate for such an event: 0.5 hrs per item, with a max of 2 hours. Contactless drop-off, while collecting items and while dropping them off will be our COVID mitigation strategy. 1: Padgett DK.

The Class of 2022 appreciates the work of the faculty immensely and we are blessed to have the best medical mentors helping us do our best towards our goals as future medical professionals each and every day.

	January 16, 2024 at 9:14 AM	Approved	Trivia Night	LECOM Med Erie - SGA	01/16/2024	02/05/2024	I would like to hold a Trivia Night for the students at 6:00 on Monday, February 5th. The event will for students will start at 6:00 for students, but I will be there at 5:30 to ensure set-up. Set-up will consist of logging into Kahoot (an online app that allowed me to set-up the trivia questions). Students will participate in teams 1-5. Prizes will be given out at the end of Rounds 1, 2, and 3. The winners of those prizes will be determined by whichever team accumulated the most amount of points for that round (the team who scores the most at the end of round 1 will get a prize, the team who scores the most during round 2 will win a prize, etc.). A grand prize will be given out to the team who accumulated the most amount of points throughout all three rounds. The prizes are listed in the document below, and have been approved by the LECOM SGA Board. Trivia Questions are also in the attached document. Each round should take 15-30 minutes, and the whole event should take 60-90 minutes. After the event has been concluded, participants will be expected to promptly leave the lecture hall and SGA will ensure that no mess has been made.
	April 9, 2019 at 12:33 PM	Approved	Andrew Gaddi	Class of 2022	04/09/2019	04/22/2019	I want to hold another bone marrow drive to add people to the national bone marrow registry.

	April 9, 2019 at 8:04 AM	Approved	Chipotle / Menchies Fundraiser	Mentoring	04/09/2019	05/08/2019	I have applied for fundraisers at Chipotle and Menchies (both located on Peach street). If accepted, Chipotle will donate 33% of proceeds made by individuals who show them our flier. Menchies has not specified the exact amount they would donate. Mentoring club would promote going to one of both of these places through social media and word of mouth. The money would go towards Mentoring club, likely allowing us to replace some of the worn out sport equipment that the children are currently using.
	October 11, 2024 at 12:16 PM	Approved	ROTC standby	Emergency Medicine	10/11/2024	11/09/2024	I am writing to formally request approval for the participation of our student organization in providing first aid support at the AFJ-ROTC Commandos Competition, which will take place on November 9, 2024, at McDowell Intermediate High School. The AFJ-ROTC Commandos Competition is a physically demanding military-style athletic event featuring activities such as ropes courses, tire flipping, people carrying, and running. Last year, the responsibility for both first aid and scoring were handled by a single individual (Dr. Chludzinski), which caused delays in event results. This year, she has requested additional assistance specifically for first aid coverage. Our role will be to provide basic first aid services for event participants, such as bandaging, applying ice, and addressing minor injuries. A first aid kit, stocked with essential supplies, has already been donated for use by the club. Additionally, the AFJ-ROTC has requested support in the form of a donation of basic first aid supplies, including bandages, splints, ace wraps, and other items for use during their practices and future competitions. If club funds are available, we would like to explore the possibility of contributing to this request. Dr. Chludzinski will be present to supervise all first aid efforts, ensuring appropriate oversight throughout the event. We believe this is an excellent opportunity for students to engage with the community while gaining practical experience in providing medical support in a real-world setting.
