UPDATE: Scholarship Credits
Starting this semester, members are required to earn at least one scholarship credit in order to be considered active. Scholarship Credits will be offered for global health events, networking events, and Pre-Health Symposium. Additional credits can be used once in three ways: a general member meeting absence, social credit, or 1 weekly service credits. Multiple scholarship credits cannot count towards one category. The executive board will assign the credits accordingly, so you do not need to specify which category they will go towards.
Rock Painting Social
We are having a rock painting social on Tuesday 9/20 from 6-7pm at the SUB Bowl (outside area on the side next to the SUB)! The member who paints the most creative rock will receive a free AED tote bag! All attendees will earn one social credit.
