August 19, 2025 at 4:39 PMRejectedNAMIWalks Fundraiser EventNeuropsych Club08/19/202509/14/2025Abigale Shick, Events and Fundraising Coordinator at NAMI of Erie County, recently inquired if LECOM’s NeuroPsych Club could provide some volunteer support for the yearly NAMIWalks fundraiser event, in addition to having students participating in the walk themselves. I believe NAMIWalks carries a powerful message, inspiring and advocating "Mental Health for All,” and our club at LECOM envisions a future where all physicians stand together to promote and prioritize mental health as an essential part of every patient's healthcare journey. The fundraiser walk will take place on Sunday, September 14th, 2025, and will be located at Penn State Behrend - Junker Center Parking Lot 5285 Station Rd, Erie, PA 16510. Volunteers will help with passing out refreshments and by being walk guides for the participants. The volunteering period will span from 7:00am - 11am. For those who want to participate in the walk alone, registration opens at 8AM and they will receive a volunteer credit hour for supporting the cause.

Each third week of the month, a nomination form will be available for students in the Class of 2028 to submit names of students in the MS2 class. The nomination form will be linked below and includes the nominee’s name and a small explanation for why they would like to nominate the student. At the end of the week, SGA, Class Board, and Class Representatives will view the submissions and determine one student who will be the Student Doctor of the Month based on their dedication to LECOM, hard work in the classroom, willingness to help other students, and other criteria. In the fourth week of every month, an email will be sent to the nominated student to notify them that they have been nominated as the Class of 2028 Student of the Month. They will be given a nominee form to fill out, which will include fun facts about the student that they are willing to share. All questions on the form are optional, and the nominee will only be required to answer questions they are comfortable with. The Student Doctor of the Month award will be open to a student from a different pathway each month (ex. An LDP student in August, PBL in September, DSP in October, etc.) so students are able to learn about their classmates in different pathways. This will be disclosed in the nomination form each month, and only students who are from the designated pathway for the month will be able to be nominated. Once the nominee fills out the nomination form, an email will be sent to the Class of 2028 including an infographic of the student that was chosen and the fun facts/answers to the questions they filled out in the form. Nomination Form (to be sent out every 3rd week of the month): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UmE7d4ZS5uLtmcw_8DoXfkX3vINzszTA9BwTf4J6RIM/preview Nominee Form (to be sent out every 4th week of the month): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RGzYDnCcvNK-vFWFE5t1oD5Vc6_kygzU1AHuY8IgSmA/preview Purpose: We would like to create a sense of community between our class and highlight members of the Class of 2028 for their hard work and dedication to LECOM. We would also like to create camaraderie between different pathways and help students to get to know other students who they might not normally interact with. We would like to boost morale within our class and provide a fun outlet for students to learn more about each other.

We will also be having a PBL mock practical at the same time happening in Lecture Hall C. Study room 5 and LHC will both need to be reserved.

June 4, 2025 at 11:08 AMCompleteNDMA Bone Marrow Cheek Swab at LECOM Club FairSSP06/04/202508/09/2025This event request is in regards to hosting a table at the 2025 Involvement Fair that will allow students to get their cheek swabbed in order to join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) registry. NMDP is an organization that helps people who desperately need stem cell transplants who are unable to find a donor with an HLA match. There is only a 0.001% of a patient finding an HLA match of all six HLA genes from an unrelated donor. If by chance a student is someone’s match, they always have the choice to decline donating. However, donating stem cells is described to be very similar to donating plasma, and through the process students could potentially save someone’s life. The National Marrow Donor Program is willing to provide all necessary cheek-swabbing supplies for this event.
