Officer Application Updates
Officer Applications NOW OPEN!
Applications are now open for officer positions for the 2024-25 year!

The application will be open until 4/10 at 11:59pm. On the application, you can list up to 3 positions of interest, and you will be considered for all positions. Interviews will be conducted on 4/18-4/21, and those who are selected for a position will be notified shortly thereafter. Here is the slideshow with information on all the positions and the application linked! Feel free to email Miranda_Lutterbei1@baylor.edu with any questions!
Service
Large Service Events
Loaves of Love occurs every 2 weeks in Earle Classroom. Loaves of Love is a weekly service opportunity, but AED members can attend ANY date this semester for 1 LSE credit. Note: Loaves of Love can only count for 1 LSE of your required 3. The next date will be Friday, April 5th, from 4:30 to 6PM. To receive credit, show up at 4:30 and fill out the sign-in on the whiteboard.
Thank you to those who signed up for the Bearathon! Please make sure to send Lexi a picture of you volunteering if you did not receive credit yet!
Steppin’ Out is Saturday, April 6th! AED is going to be partnering with ASDA! Time is TBD as we have not been assigned a time slot, but it will be from 8-12 pm or 9-1pm. Steppin’ Out emailed all of AED’s members (new members too) a link to register. Please make sure to fill out the registration by March 27th to attend and be assigned with AED. Everyone must fill out their own registration form.
Baylor DPT needs volunteer patients for their upcoming skills checks/practical exams in mid-April! This could be a fun opportunity to learn something while you get some volunteering hours in. Each shift is 2 hours and 15 minutes long, and you can either sign up for the human anatomy shift or the physical therapy examination shift. If you do sign up for a shift, make sure you actually go! Signing up for 1 shift will earn you an LSE! Sign-ups and more information can be found here.

Other Updates
Healthcare Interprofessional Week
Pre-Health Office Organization Scholarship
Dr. Sanker and the Pre-Health Office are introducing a new scholarship starting for the upcoming school year. Each organization gets to nominate 2 people for the scholarship, with the focus being on highlighting future leaders within organization life and for future healthcare careers. AED has opened a scholarship application that we would like anyone interested to fill out, and this is due by March 31st at 11:59pm. Anyone can apply as long as they aren’t a senior, they must take a Leadership in Healthcare course with Dr. Sanker next year, and they must hold a leadership role (executive board or chair position) within AED next year. While the amount is not determined yet, I would expect it to be around $2,000-$3,000. If you have any questions, reach out to Miranda_Lutterbei1@baylor.edu!
