	September 20, 2022 at 10:39 AM	Approved	Diwali	APAMSA	09/20/2022	10/20/2022	Diwali, or Dipawali, is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. The event would be held most likely at Hammocks clubhouse. There will be traditional indian snacks, music, and activities to symbolize the holiday. COVID Mitigation plan: 1. All participants will be required to wear masks 2. When eating people will be required to remain 6 feet away when taking off their masks 3. If people do not feel well or feel like they have a fever they will be requested not to come. 4. There will be an attendance sheet in place for people to sign in, in a case that contact tracing would be required. Veronica Li will be the contact person for the set up and tear down the the event. Dr. Razzaque has been contacted to attend the event. Since this is a public clubhouse for Hammocks residents, no confirmation is needed to book the area since it's a public space that rarely ever occupied. There will be light refreshments and snacks so nothing significant is happening to require any proper reservation of the area.

We hope to give our student body an opportunity to explore a particular research topic and aim to spark interest in cancer research as a whole.
	September 22, 2022 at 3:39 PM	Approved	Patagonia Jacket Sale	SOMA	09/22/2022	10/01/2022	Due to the success of the Patagonia sale on our campus last year, and after being approached by multiple students asking to have the sale again, LECOM Erie SOMA is looking to duplicate the Patagonia sale that took place last year. The Patagonia's allowed for custom embroidery and will feature the school crest logo (attached). Event will take place remotely (with pick up at the school), in Fall Semester. Remote Fundraiser - Pick Up location at school. A Google Form will be sent out as soon as this event is approved, and the sale will run through late October. The company we will be using is Thread fellows. Multiple types of Patagonia jackets will be offered, including vests, full zip jackets, and quarter zip jackets.

	September 26, 2022 at 1:52 PM	Approved	Decompression Session: Painting and a Discussion on Barriers to Mental Health Care	Mental Health Task Force	09/26/2022	10/27/2022	This will be a painting session with a discussion on barriers to mental health care hosted by the SGA Mental Health Task Force that seeks to act as a place to decompress and engage in a hobby as stress relief practice, as well as a space to discuss mental health in medical students. Dr. Melanie Dunbar will be present for the duration of the meeting as a facilitator along with the members of the mental health task force. We know that medical students are more likely to live with depression, anxiety, and mood disorders (Maser et al., 2019), and that having discussions about our experiences works to destigmatize and reduce stress around seeking treatment (Hankier et al., 2014). An additional reason to have the coinciding painting session will give students a physical activity to focus on to make students feel more comfortable contributing to the discussion and sitting through silent periods. We will discuss different barriers that one might encounter to seeking mental health care, including cultural, geographical, financial, and other societal barriers. We will discuss stigma around mental health illness and treatments, including medications, and ways we can work to break down those stigmas. This will not be a therapy session, it will be a discussion on the difficulties medical students face and the associated stigma and barriers to mental health care. It will also be a place to remind students of the resources and support that they have available to them. This session will be held October 27th at 6pm in the Vora lounge. An RSVP form will be created to determine how many materials to purchase for the event. Materials will be purchased in bulk off Amazon, and unused materials will be saved for a future Goody bag event. Plastic tablecloths will be purchased to protect the tables, the paint will be washable for easy removal, and cleaning materials will be purchased to ensure that the lounge is left spotless after our session. Cleaning up will be done by the members of the Mental Health Task Force, and leftover materials will be added to SGA storage for continued use. “Relative to the general population of postsecondary graduates aged 20–34, medical students aged 20–34 had significantly higher rates of diagnosed mood disorders, diagnosed anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation, and psychological distress.” Maser, Brandon MD; Danilewitz, Marlon MD; Guérin, Eva PhD; Findlay, Leanne PhD; Frank, Erica MD, MPH.
