	March 22, 2022 at 12:15 PM	Approved	SAACOFP Recruitment Meet and Greet	Family Medicine Club	03/22/2022	03/28/2022	The goal of this event is to promote SAACOFP to students and recruit new members. We will be purchasing pizza from Maria's Pizza and will submit a reimbursement form. For safe distribution, we will make sure that the pizza is precut. Additionally, we will have one person distributing the slices while wearing cloves and a mask. All beverages will be individually packaged. In addition to sharing our planned volunteer experiences and future events, we will also have a table set up for students to make cards. Students will be able to count the time spent making the cards as volunteer hours.
	March 11, 2022 at 11:51 AM	Approved	Neuroanatomy Review Sessions	SOMA	03/11/2022	03/25/2022	As we have done with Gross Anatomy and MMS review nights, SOMA would like to start hosting review nights for Neuroanatomy. Basic neuroscience is notoriously one of the most difficult classes in medical school, and our Eboard feels it would be extremely beneficial to start hosting review sessions. These sessions will be over Zoom starting whenever the event is approved. We will have a sign up sheet for MS1 and MS2 Students to sign up to make review Powerpoints for basic neuroanatomy in exchange for community service hours. Making the presentations will be available to SSP and SOMA members, and the review nights will only be open to SOMA students. We hope this will bridge the gap that MS1's have had with transitioning into more difficult content and systems.
	February 9, 2022 at 7:54 PM	Rejected	Suturing Clinic	ACOS-MSS	02/09/2022	03/18/2022	ACOS-MSS would like to provide the opportunity for the maximum amount of interested students to learn the basics of suturing while ensuring that all COVID protocols are thoroughly followed. To achieve this, we would be holding two small group clinic sessions over the course of two separate dates rather than one large event. Each session will last three hours, and members may only sign up for one slot. By doing so, it will not only drastically limit the amount of potential contact between attendees but also minimize exposure time and always allow for ample social distancing. Dr. Jung will be facilitating this event with the rotating assistance of Dr. Coughlin and Dr. Risavi (other attendings will also be notified to maximize efficiency). During these small group clinic events, the following guidelines will be strictly followed: 1.) We will have a full roster of every individual who has signed up for the clinic 2.) We will have a check-in for all members and staff who attend the suturing clinic 3.) We will require masks, and uphold social distancing of at least 6 feet 4.) We will sanitize before and after the suturing clinic to avoid the potential spread of COVID 5.) We will create a screening form for all members that sign up and require that they disclose any signs and symptoms, travel history, and close contact history prior to attending 6.) Unvaccinated individuals will be allowed to attend, but they will be placed at a separate table, again maintaining at least 6 feet for proper social distancing. 7.) We will cap each session at 50 individuals to mitigate the potential spread of COVID *Our casting clinic permitted 50 individuals and was approved on November 18th, 2021. The event ran smoothly and no issues ensued.
	February 28, 2022 at 3:56 PM	Approved	SSP General Body Meeting and Board Prep/ Rotations Q&A	SSP	02/28/2022	03/18/2022	SSP will hold a general body meeting VIRTUALLY over Zoom on 3/18 at 6pm. The meeting will be a board prep and rotations Q&A event where 3rd and 4th year SSP members will offer advice to, and answer any questions, that 2nd year SSP members may have regarding boards and rotations. General SSP updates will also be reviewed at the meeting.

During the session on March 17th, Dr. Vater will be presenting on Cultivating Compassion in Medicine and more about the Heme/Onc specialty for students who are interested in pursuing this fellowship.
	February 14, 2022 at 12:35 PM	Approved	Micro Game Night	SNMA	02/14/2022	03/17/2022	SNMA Erie would like to host a game night to review microbiology with Dr. Keller. Students will be organized into teams to play a trivia game related to different topics in microbiology. The purpose is to help MS2 students refresh their knowledge of the material before beginning dedicated board studying, and to help MS1s practice their knowledge from core. We would like to host this event in Lecture Hall D to accommodate students and proper content review. The event would take place for 1 hour, and we would like to host the event sometime in March, however the date listed below may be subject to change.
	February 22, 2022 at 1:13 PM	Approved	Monthly Meeting	SOMA	02/22/2022	03/16/2022	To increase participation at our monthly meetings, we would like to start having them in person. We have had previous meetings at this location, and the church is willing to let us continue to use the space. There is ample space to be able to stay 6 feet apart and social distance. We will require masks be worn the entire meeting, have a sign up sheet prior to the event to see how the room needs to be set up to ensure social distancing, and take attendance at the meeting.
	February 23, 2022 at 4:16 PM	Approved	Q&A with Dr. Brian Webster	Internal Medicine Club	02/23/2022	03/14/2022	We will be hosting Dr. Brian Webster, MD for a Q/A session via zoom on Monday, March 14th at 5:30PM.

	January 15, 2022 at 2:29 PM	Approved	Advanced Directives Information Presentation	SOMA	01/15/2022	03/09/2022	Many students (myself included) do not know how to create an advanced directive, carry one out, or even what one is. This remote presentation (via Zoom) from Amy Ventry, MSW and Social Service Coordinator at Lakeland Area Hospice, will guide us through what an advanced directive is and how to write one for ourselves, and how to carry out one for our future patients. With COVID becoming increasingly present in our world and with younger people being severely affected, it is important that young adults have advanced directives in place. While we hope to never need to use advanced directives, it is still crucial that we have our wishes be known in the event of being unable to make these decisions. Amy will give a 45 minute remote presentation about advanced directives, and then will open the floor for questions about advanced directives and her presentation.
	February 10, 2022 at 10:07 AM	Approved	Pediatrics Club Virtual Speaker Event with Associated Program Director of Pediatric Residency	Pediatrics Club	02/10/2022	03/09/2022	Pediatrics Club will be hosting a virtual guest speaker with Dr. Courson, Associated Program Director of Pediatric Residency Program at Akron's Children Hospital.
	January 30, 2022 at 1:48 PM	Approved	St. Patrick's Day Card Drive for St. Mary's Senior Center	SOMA	01/30/2022	03/07/2022	Proposed dates: Monday March 7th through March 11th Alternate dates: Monday March 14th through Wednesday March 16th Idea: SOMA will be putting together a St. Patrick’s Card Drive. This will be a contactless event, and we propose having collection boxes in the cafeteria. Students will be able to leave their cards for collection. Cards will be picked up at the end of the drive by Co-Chair Paarth Sharma or Co-Chair Smaran Teru. We will advertise this event to the entire Class of 2024 and class of 2025, so they are able to participate. At the conclusion of the card drive, we will arrange a date and time to drop off the cards to St. Mary’s Senior Center. This will be done in a contact-free manner. Why: SOMA wants to create a COVID-safe opportunity for students to get involved in the Erie community. Having this card drive creates an event that allows LECOM students to reach out and be involved with the school and community.
	January 30, 2022 at 2:40 PM	Approved	Valentine's Day Ice Cream Social	LECOM SGA - Medicine - Erie	01/30/2022	02/15/2022	Event: Valentine’s Ice Cream Social Purpose: To provide LECOM students with a simple, safe Valentine’s day treat. We have worked directly with Dupree to provide individually packaged ice-cream with separately packaged additives. The event is being run by cafeteria staff to simply hand out the ice cream to those who are interested. The cost is quoted for $0.70 per unit, provided in boxes of 48. We have requested two orders for ~96 units. The overall cost should be under $100. COVID Protocol: Our event follows in accordance with all LECOM COVID standards. There is no additional increase in risk due to the distribution and packaging of the food. * Given Dupree's preference to handle the food services separately, he will submit his own Food Service Form. For forthcoming events, we will be submitting the Food Form through the proper SGA channels.
