April 3, 2022 at 2:40 PMCancelledNational Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food DriveClass of 202504/03/202205/14/2022The Second Harvest Food Bank of Erie reached out and wanted volunteers for their National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food drive that is going to take place on May 14th, 2022. This will be the 30th annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive where postmen pick up food from all over the city. People usually set out their donations the morning of the event near their mailbox and front door. The Food Bank is looking for volunteers between the hours of 10am-7pm to help with the drive. They’re also looking for some volunteers to be stationed at donation drop off sites located throughout Erie and would assist with loading a semi-truck with incoming donations. I know that COVID restrictions are easing up, but masks will be enforced with unvaccinated individuals, and other precautions will be taken to make sure students can be COVID safe. I know a lot of students really want to be more involved in the community and I think this would be a great idea for students to help the local Erie community and work together with different individuals.

May 17, 2023 at 3:02 PMCancelledMentorship TrainingLECOM Med Erie - SGA05/17/202306/15/2023The Mentorship Training will be held over zoom from 7:00-8:00pm on 6/15/2023. Location: Zoom https://us05web.zoom.us/j/5527674620?pwd=TUFqVjlJREFkVkdpQ1IyOGJzYXBkdz09 Purpose: The purpose of implementing a mentorship training program for 2nd year medical students who will mentor 1st year students is to provide a structured platform for guidance, support, and knowledge sharing within the medical school community. The program aims to bridge the gap between experienced 2nd year students and incoming 1st year students, facilitating a smooth transition into the rigorous environment of medical school. Through mentorship, 2nd year students can offer valuable insights, advice, and encouragement to their 1st year mentees, helping them navigate the challenges of the curriculum, develop effective study strategies, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Furthermore, the mentorship training program fosters a sense of camaraderie, creating a supportive network where 1st year students feel comfortable seeking guidance and mentorship from their more experienced peers. Ultimately, the program aims to enhance the overall academic success, personal growth, and professional development of both 1st and 2nd year medical students, while fostering a collaborative and nurturing learning environment within the medical school community. Funding: No funding is needed for this event. The general breakdown of the event will include me presenting the mentorship training PowerPoint to prospective mentors for 30-45 minutes. Afterwards, I will address any questions the mentors have.
