On March 27th at 6:00pm, there will be a medical student-run mentoring event for Honors College premedical students at the Downtown campus (Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences).
The event will be in 1225A. When you arrive at the
medical campus, you will buzz in and sign in at the front desk since the entire
campus is swipe access only.
This event will include a presentation from myself (Cullan) and other first-year medical students giving advice, resources, and generalized tips about the process of applying to medical school. The pre-health committee is a fantastic resource, however, our goal is to give more of an insider perspective with students who have recently gone through the process. The end will be an informal Q&A session, so be sure to bring some questions for us!
FREE PIZZA will be provided!
Click on the link below and enter your name into the google
spreadsheet so we can get an accurate count of who is interested in coming. We
hope to see you there!

A discussion of the human and financial costs associated with the U.S.’s reliance on mass incarceration
Featuring Distinguished Speaker David Fathi, Director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project
March 13, 2019
509 O’Brian Hall
4:30 p.m. FREE and open to all. Reception to follow.
The American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project brings challenges to conditions of confinement in prisons, jails and other detention facilities. The Prison Project also works to end the policies that have given the U.S. the highest incarceration rate in the world. Fathi has a special expertise in challenging “supermax” prisons, where prisoners are held for months or years at a time in conditions of near-total isolation. Fathi also represented the ACLU during negotiations in the U.N., which lead to the adoption of the Nelson Mandela Rules.
