March 2, 2021 at 7:44 PMApprovedNo-Contact Food Drive for Second Harvest Food BankSOMA03/02/202104/19/2021SOMA will be hosting a No-Contact Food Drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank in Erie. This will be a contactless event, and we propose having food donation boxes at all three campus locations, either outside or inside the first set of doors, so Hybrid students are able to donate at their respective campuses. An officer from SOMA, who is already a hybrid student at each campus location, will be responsible for dropping off the box on Monday and collecting it on Friday. Kaitlyn Chadwick is a hybrid PBL student at Bayfront and would be responsible for the Bayfront collection box; Rachel Campitell is a hybrid student at West and would be responsible for the West collection box; Kevin Tay is a hybrid student at Main and would be responsible for the Main collection box. We will advertise this event to the entire LECOM student body so they are able to participate. Our option for remote students to participate will be for them to donate money via Venmo to our SOMA Treasurer, who will then give the money to Second Harvest Food Bank. At the conclusion of the Food Drive, I will arrange a date and time to drop off the collection boxes with the food bank; this will be done in a contact-free manner.

They will earn more points the further they go and the amount of days they are active. They can also earn points if they make a facebook post and tag our club on facebook. This is an individual, socially distanced, and completely virtual competition. We will hold a raffle for some running gear at the end using online software to fairly determine the winners based off the number of points they earned. The spreadsheet is based off the honor system and we will max out points for miles at 20 to prevent excess time devoted and those that run a lot.

A blood stem cell donation can be a cure for blood cancer, sickle cell, and other deadly diseases. Patients and their families are counting on us to find their match. But not everyone has an equal chance - patients are more likely to match with donors from their same ethnic background. This recruitment drive will be online and completely virtual. LECOM-SOMA hopes to further educate the LECOM community, about how bone marrow donation works! There will be an information session about how bone marrow donation works, how to donate, and what the benefits of donation are. Attendees can go online to order a swab kit. Swab kits will be sent to their home and can be returned in the postage-paid envelope. No contact necessary! We will be competing throughout the month of May with other schools in our region (LECOM-SH and UNECOM) for the prized "Golden Swab"!

March 29, 2021 at 2:08 PMApprovedSOMA Virtual Cooking NightSOMA03/29/202105/14/2021SOMA wants to encourage members to remain as interconnected as possible during COVID and foster meaningful relationships with their peers. Additionally, we want to provide ample opportunities to attend stress-relieving events and connect with the SOMA club. SOMA wants to host a Zoom Baking event as a social night for our members. This event will remain contactless, as members will be sent a list of ingredients prior, join a Zoom call held by SOMA, and follow along with the instructions provided by SOMA representatives. SOMA also wants to propose having the option to receive ingredients provided by us, as we can buy and pre package these ingredients. An RSVP will be sent out to the members, where they can let us know if they want to receive ingredients from us, and we will set up times that these members can stop by a predetermined location for a no-contact drop off. Based on the RSVP response from this, SOMA will be able to calculate the cost of this event based on the supplies purchased, currently approximated to be less than $100. For the first session, members attending will be able to vote on the baked goods that we cook during the event, and cost can be calculated.

This event will occur over Zoom in order to keep it as safe as possible. The event will be open to SOMA members, however, we are currently working with SAAO to potentially collaborate for this event, and in this case the event will also be open to SAAO members. We will all join the Zoom link and after a brief introduction by SOMA’s OPP director, Dr. Hendryx will lead us in a guided meditation. SOMA will send out a poll to members to see what date will work best for the most students using the dates Dr. Hendryx already approved. A date the week of April 26th - taking place completely virtually on the Zoom platform. SOMA wants to create a COVID-safe opportunity for students to experience this facet of OPP, and see how we can better implement this practice into our day-to-day lives. This is a great opportunity to learn a skill we were taught in OPP that we may not have tried out before and can hopefully inspire to students to further look into the other facets of integrative medicine we learned about during OPP lectures.
