Event: Barnard Pre-Dent Open House

The Barnard Association of Pre-Dental Students aims to sustain a support network of students on campus to further explore the dental profession. We provide students with programs, events, and activities, which educate members on topics pertinent to dental career interest and development. We would like to create a unified voice for pre-dental students on campus and bridge Barnard College with various dental schools in the greater Manhattan area.

Opportunity: Globemed at Columbia fundraising for gender health equity and HIV/AIDS

Hello all,

Would you like to help support gender health equity and HIV/AIDS prevention while enjoying delicious cookie dough delivered to your room during the stress of reading week?

If so, you’re in luck!

This finals season, GlobeMed will be delivering personal-sized jars of NYC’s famous DŌ cookie dough to raise money for our partner organization, GWED-G (Gulu Women’s Economic Development and Globalization), a grassroots NGO that promotes HIV awareness, community empowerment, and gender health equity in the post-conflict regions of northern Uganda. For the past decade, GlobeMed has worked with GWED-G on a myriad of projects pertaining to maternal and sexual health including HIV screening and sensitization, family planning, gender-based violence prevention, midwife training, and the provision of seeds and farming training to promote sustainable economic empowerment.

GlobeMed’s annual financial contribution of over $20,000 to GWED-G is largely made possible through on-campus fundraising projects, such as our DŌ sale!

GlobeMed will be accepting orders of four oz. personal pots of cookie dough for $8 via our Google Order Form until Monday, April 16th at 11:59 PM. You can choose from four incredible flavors! Cookie dough will be delivered to the location of your choice on the evening of May 2nd (the Wednesday of Reading Week). All of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to GWED-G.

Don’t miss your opportunity to indulge in DŌ without an hour-long line! Order and learn more here: https://goo.gl/forms/putsrs2OuyytEYGh2.

Opportunity: Summer EMT Course for University Students

This summer (June or July 2018), the Yeshiva University EMS club is organizing an emergency medical technician (EMT) course for undergraduate students. Getting to network with passionate pre-health students from other universities in the NYC area will be a great experience, and the medical skills and clinical exposure will look great on any pre-health resume! ALSO, THE COURSE IS ONLY 15 DAYS!

The course will take place for 15 days in June or July (exact dates tbd) from 10 am till 6 pm on one of the Yeshiva University campuses, which are conveniently located in the heart of NYC. The cost of the course is $1,500. 
(If finances are an issue, there are many volunteer ambulance/fire organizations that will pay for your course in return for becoming an active member! Seek out your local agencies for more details)

With previous courses run in the past, we have found this schedule to be most ideal for university students. Understanding the difficulty of taking an EMT course while in school, we would like to open up this opportunity to other university students in the New York City area. 

Please sign-up if you are interested and want more information.
