Dr. Melodie Chludzinski will be present to oversee and support the event. From 1:00–3:00 PM, we will offer a Spa Day experience for residents. Two rounds of 12 participants (24 total) will rotate through this portion of the event. Residents will have the opportunity to soak their hands to gently remove existing nail polish, select a color of their choice, and receive fresh polish applied by student volunteers. Designed to be calming and restorative, the spa experience focuses on comfort, conversation, and individualized attention. Each participant will also receive a thoughtfully prepared goodie bag filled with self-care items, including sensitive-skin face masks, lotions, travel-size Vaseline and body wash, nail care items, nail polish, cuticle care supplies, and fuzzy socks; small comforts meant to extend the feeling of care beyond the event itself. From 3:00–5:00 PM, we will host Bingo, welcoming an estimated 40–50 residents. Students will assist and sit alongside residents as they play, helping to create a warm, engaging environment. Prizes will be distributed throughout the afternoon, and sugar-free snacks and beverages will be available during both portions of the event. This event is rooted in promoting wellness, relaxation, and meaningful social connection. The Spa Day offers therapeutic stress relief and personalized interaction, while Bingo fosters joy, laughter, and a sense of community among residents and LECOM students alike. Student volunteers will sign up in 2-hour blocks, with up to 30 volunteers per block (60 volunteers total). SGA will coordinate with ACOS, Family Medicine Club, and SSP to organize volunteers, manage setup, and ensure all supplies are prepared, allowing the day to run smoothly and create a positive, memorable experience for everyone involved.

March 9, 2026 at 3:59 PMApprovedInternational Trauma and Life Support Training CertificationACOS-MSS03/09/202607/30/2026LECOM ACOS-MSS is excited to provide members an opportunity to obtain an International Trauma Life Support Certification. Dr. Risavi will be leading the event which will consist of several lectures as well as hands-on skills stations with a practical assessment at the end. This is an opportunity for members to obtain hands-on experience and to learn new skills that are essential for any specialty. The training covers vitals trauma skills such as trauma assessment, neck and spine stabilization, and airway stabilization. Additionally, this certification is similar to a certification that is required during Emergency Medicine and General Surgery residency (advanced trauma life support), allowing members to gain valuable knowledge on information for the future. This certification and skillset will contribute to developing students into well-rounded physicians and add to their unique resume during residency interviews. This will be an amazing opportunity to allow students to gain hands-on experience and knowledge, while also being able to obtain a certification. The ITLS certification will last all members 3 years. Members who decide to participate will need to purchase and read ITLS for Emergency Care Providers – 9th edition from VitalSource or Amazon. Additionally, the certification itself will cost approximately $30. The anticipated event will be held on the following dates and times: July 30th: 5:30pm - 10pm July 31st: 7:30am - 5pm August 1st: 7:30am - 3pm As there are multiple skills stations and lectures, we are requesting lecture hall A in addition to the OPP lab to be reserved on the second floor. We will work with Dr. Kalmey’s office to ensure that the training does not overlap with the MS1 orientation. Our advisor, Dr. Risavi will be present. There will also be several other clinicians to assist Dr. Risavi with the event and help administer the practicals. We are capping the participation at 25 students to allow for a meaningful experience for all.

March 9, 2026 at 5:05 PMApprovedThe Great Erie Bake OffAllies03/09/202604/28/2026Overview: This fundraising event will bring the bakers of our medical school together to compete to win a prize! With the submitted baked goods, we will have students pay $4 to “judge” the desserts and we will count up the votes and crown a winner of each category! This event is in collaboration with SOMA and Mental Health Task force so all costs and will be split between the groups and money raised will be split between SOMA and Allies. Details: We will have students sign up to bake for a chance to win a $15 Lucky Bean (local coffee shop) giftcard in their category. There will be four categories: Brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and gluten free (which can be anything as long as it’s gluten free). We are capping each category at 10 submissions, although we don’t expect this many bakers. A baker will sign up to bake 1 dozen of their chosen item and submit it to the tables set up in the cafeteria by 7:45AM on April 28th (Day of the event). We are requesting two tables in the back of the cafeteria on April 28th to be used the whole day. The bakers cannot use any tree nuts to avoid common allergens. The baked items submitted will be cut into 4 pieces. (ex. Typical size brownie will be cut into 4 pieces or cupcake cut into 4 pieces). This is so each judge can try potentially 10 of their baked item category. The baked goods will be on the back tables from 7:45am till the event starts at lunch. They will be covered with a sign saying it’s for this event. The actual event will begin at 11:30AM and end at 12:50PM so both the first and second years and any faculty can participate in judging. The judging form will include: name, category judging, rate 1-5 for taste, appearance, texture, and the “IT factor” for each baked good in the category, and “have you paid $4 cash or Venmo”. Any student can pay $4 to “judge” the competition and will pick one category to judge. For instance, a student can judge the cupcake category. They will pay 4$ and receive a judgement form and ¼ of each cupcake submitted. They will try each one and rate each cupcake they try out of 5 in the following “taste, appearance, texture, the “IT factor”. They will then submit the form back to Allies member manning the table. If a student wants to judge multiple categories, they will pay $4 for each category they’d like to judge. The form has check marks to ensure no negativity can be written in and it’s purely a number value. The ultimate rankings will be private and only the winner of each category will be announced publicly the following day. A member of the Allies club will be manning the tables the entire event to collect the money, hand out judgment forms, and ensure judgement forms are submitted back. Our club supervisor will be present. Allies will be providing forks, knives, plates, tablecloths, and napkins as to not disrupt the cafeterias supply. The cafeteria’s operations will be unaffected by this event as all items will come from this club directly. Allies will be ensuring the tables are maintained and clean up entirely when this event concludes. Any leftover baked goods will stay on the back tables covered up with a descriptive sign until class is out at 5pm to be picked up. Any left food items will be taken away by Allies Club as to ensure a proper cleanup. The attached flier, when approved, will be printed and hung in the locker room to advertise for baker submissions and spread awareness for students to judge the event.

Students will be guided through breathing exercises and meditation techniques designed to promote mental clarity, reduce stress, and encourage emotional balance. Chocolate from local Erie chocolatiers will be incorporated as part of the meditation practice as a method to enhance the perception of the body and mind. The session will provide practical tools students can incorporate into their daily routines to support long-term wellness. The second hour will drive social interactions and relaxation with general conversation and low-intensity games like cornhole. Healthy refreshments and light snacks will be available during the event to further support relaxation and encourage students to stay and connect with their peers in a calm and supportive environment. This event is rooted in promoting student wellness, resilience, and community. The meditation session provides physical relaxation and stress relief, as well as encourages mindfulness and mental reset. Together, these activities aim to create a restorative space where students can recharge and reconnect with themselves and their classmates. Student volunteers will assist with setup, check-in, and event coordination to ensure the session runs smoothly.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who has an idea but isn’t sure how to get started, wants feedback on feasibility, or is looking for mentorship. During the event, selected students will give brief pitches (either individually or as a group) to a panel of faculty and clinicians. The panel will provide constructive feedback, guidance on next steps, and insight into how to turn ideas into real projects. Faculty and/or clinicians may also choose to mentor projects they find especially compelling. Whether students already have a fully developed idea or are just starting to think about one, we encourage all students to present their ideas and get feedback! Guest speakers are to be determined. We plan to tailor the panel of faculty and clinicians to the research ideas submitted, ensuring that the panel includes individuals with relevant expertise in the corresponding fields. To facilitate this, interested students will complete a Google Form indicating the topic of their idea. Once the panel has been assembled based on these submissions, we will finalize and submit the attending guest speakers.

April 16, 2026 at 2:04 PMApprovedMMS Review NightsSOMA04/16/202608/04/2026The Pre-SOMA branch is dedicated to providing an inclusive learning environment for students who have not yet started osteopathic medical school. The Pre-SOMA directors (and potentially other SOMA volunteers) at LECOM would like to host review night Q & A sessions/and or review presentations for the MMS students here at our LECOM campus. Our efforts will be focused on mentoring and guiding these students towards understanding courses and high yield concepts in their own way outside of structured lectures, with the intent to foster an environment that promotes collaborative learning with open feedback responses from medical students who have previously been in the MMS program and are now successful in the MS1 class. We believe this could be a great opportunity for MMS students to learn how they will shape their study habits, and for our directors it will be an opportunity to reinforce our future physician skills of mentorship and educating. Dates will be coordinated in conjunction with pathway directors prior to each exam.
April 20, 2026 at 10:50 AMApprovedErie Children's Museum Sunscreen EventSOMA04/20/202605/09/2026Erie Children’s Museum Sunscreen Event This interactive experiment at the Erie Children’s Museum focuses on teaching children and their families about the importance of sun protection in a fun, hands-on way. Kids create colorful bracelets using pipe cleaners and UV-sensitive beads, which change color when exposed to ultraviolet light. After making their bracelets, participants apply sunscreen to selected beads and then use an ultraviolet flashlight to observe how protected beads react differently from those without sunscreen. This visual demonstration clearly shows how effective sun protection is at blocking harmful UV rays. To extend the learning beyond the activity, children receive take-home reminder cards about wearing sunscreen. Informational cards are also provided for parents, offering guidance on how to protect their children’s skin and reinforcing the importance of consistent sun safety habits. SOMA will have a sign up sheet with a maximum of 20 volunteers to help staff the table, help kids with any part of the project, and answer questions. The event is hosted by the Erie Children’s Museum on May 9, 2026, from 11 am to 2 pm, during their dedicated STEAM times. The Children’s museum will provide pipe cleaners, beads, and sunscreen for the project.
