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.
August 19, 2025 at 4:46 PMRejectedHuntington's Disease Society of America TeamHope Walk/5K RunNeuropsych Club08/19/202509/27/2025Beth Gustafson, Assistant Professor of the Physical Therapy Program at Gannon University and Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) TeamHope walk co-coordinator, recently inquired if LECOM’s NeuroPsych Club could provide volunteer support for the yearly HDSA Team Hope Walk & 5K Run fundraiser event. I believe this event offers a valuable opportunity for our club members to come together in support of the greater Erie community. It also serves to raise awareness and educate the public about Huntington’s disease, a complex neurodegenerative condition that we’ve heavily focused upon in our neuroanatomy courses. Through what we’ve learned, we’ve deepened our understanding of the challenges faced not only by patients, but by their families as well. Through this event, we hope to extend our support to those in the Erie community and show that they’re not alone in their efforts. The fundraiser walk will take place on Saturday September 27, 2025 and will be located at Presque Isle State Park, Beach 1. Volunteers will help with set-up, basket raffles, registration, advocacy efforts, cheering on walk/run participants, and clean up. The volunteering period will span from 6:30AM to 12PM, with each volunteer working a minimum of 2 hour shifts.

The book is titled "A Black Man in a White Coat" written by Dr. Damon Tweedy. Dr. Tweedy is a psychiatrist and associate professor of psychiatry at Duke. In his memoir, he highlights the effects of health disparities in medicine from a student, physician, and patient perspective. The purpose of these sessions is to gain a better grasp on equality in medicine and the importance of reforms in public health. It is intended to be a session where members can learn from others' experiences and get a taste of other aspects of medicine that are not as well represented in textbooks.

This event is designed to support student wellness and provide an opportunity for relaxation and stress relief following a demanding academic year and board preparation period. The first hour would be a guided meditation and mindfulness session conducted by Dr. Jan Hendryx. 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. SGA will organize volunteers, prepare materials, and create a welcoming atmosphere that supports a meaningful and rejuvenating experience for all participants.

March 22, 2026 at 11:30 PMPending (10d, 18h) Staff vs Students Softball GameDO2 Max Club03/22/202605/01/2026A fun and friendly softball event for all students and staff at LECOM. As the year is coming to an end we want to use this as an opportunity to bring all of LECOM together before many of us go away for the summer. Thus we are planning on hosting a softball game against willing faculty to lift the spirits of all participants as we near the end of this long semester. It can also be a social event where we can have food for sale like typical baseball or softball items like cracker jacks, chips, and sunflower seeds as a fundraising opportunity with everyone not participating just coming to watch the game and socialize! These will be purchased from Sam's Club using our clubs funds and sold at a food stand by our board members that are not participating. This event will be a 7 inning softball game between staff and students located at the softball field on campus. The initial date will be Friday May 1st at 6 pm with a rainout date of May 8th also at 6 pm. The game will last all 7 innings, 2 hours, or until it gets too dark to see whichever comes first. I, Tyler Weber, have experience being a softball umpire and will do so for this game unless another staff member or student would like to step in and do so. Gloves will not be supplied so that will be on each participating individual to bring their own. Bats and balls will be supplied for the game. Staff and students will sign up via a google form which will be sent out 2 weeks before the event and close 3 days before. If there are not enough staff that sign up their team will be filled with students to make a complete team. Teams will be maxed out at 16 participants to allow for substitutions (this number may be extended). If we have more students or staff to sign up than slots available we will attempt to accommodate if possible, but in the instance that it is not we will select participants based off a random lottery which will take place once the google form has closed. The random lottery will be completed by a 3rd party with no involvement in the event to ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process. All selected participants will be notified via email within 24 hours of the lottery being completed, along with any additional details regarding game logistics, arrival time, and expectations for participation. To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, all participants will be expected to adhere to basic sportsmanship guidelines and any campus policies in place. Waivers may be required prior to participation, and we will coordinate with campus administration to ensure all necessary approvals, risk management considerations, and event support are in place. Overall we aim to produce a fun environment for all to attend!
