Ex: 20 spaces for people to sign up for pacifiers/Wubbanub, 20 spaces for people to sign up for rattles, etc. This will ensure we have equal materials for each basket being donated. We will set up a collection box in LECOM's front office during the week so students can drop off their donated items. We wanted to hold a box by security in the front lobby for the week of March 20 - March 24th. Then the following week on March 27th we would like to hold an event at LECOM, where members would put the baskets together for the NICU and deliver them to Grady's Decision non-profit for distribution. In addition we where hoping to have an in-person (or zoom) event with Ryan Smith to come and talk about his experience of giving these gifts and what it means to the patients family. I think this would be amazing for the students to see their impact on the patients and where their donations are actually going. This event would take place in the Vora lounge on March 20th, the first day of our collection.

	February 21, 2023 at 10:43 AM	Approved	Basic/Clinical Neuroscience Review Nights	SOMA	02/21/2023	03/20/2023	SOMA students (primarily second-years) will lead review sessions to help guide first-year students on study strategies of high-yield topics for Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, especially neuroanatomy. These sessions have been requested by first-year students. As first-years work their way through the systems curriculum of Basic and Clinical Neuroscience, OMS2s will host short, virtual review nights of the material and high yield topics. SOMA students will coordinate review content with Dr. Kulesza for the specific aspects of neuroanatomy as well as other faculty members for other content areas that are covered. These reviews will be held over Zoom, which will allow for social distancing because of the virtual nature of the event and no in-person assembly is required. SOMA members will be notified of review nights and it's corresponding review material via email. Our goal in doing so is to help bridge the gap that OMS1's have had with transitioning into more difficult content and systems.
	March 6, 2023 at 3:51 PM	Approved	"What I wish I knew going into MS2" with Jake Kesiel	Neuropsych Club	03/06/2023	03/20/2023	The NeuroPsych Club would like to host Jake Kisiel, D.O. for an hour of answering questions and sharing his perspective on what he "wishes he knew going into M2" over Zoom. Jake is a LECOM grad class of 2022 and is currently a PGY-1 at Millcreek's Psychiatry residency program. At such a critical time point on our road to be osteopathic physicians, we believe Jake would be an invaluable resource for students deciding what to do over the Summer (as it fast approaches) and how to strategize to make M2 as successful as possible. Plus, being a fresh LECOM grad, Jake will have a better idea of what sort of opportunities exist at LECOM and Erie at large that can help maximize our next steps as M2s towards our future careers. Prior to the event we will open up a google document so students can pose questions for Jake to answer. Also, as part of our COVID mitigation strategy we will be hosting the event over Zoom.
