Your opinion needed for decisions about University City campus! Student input is very important on all surveys, but this data will help inform needs and resources for the University City campus moving forward, so we need YOU! Please fill out the National College Health Assessment, which was emailed to all full-time students on Tuesday 11/8 (you may have received additional reminders since then as well). Each student received a unique link to complete the survey. The NCHA is a comprehensive survey covering physical health, mental health, substance use, resource insecurity, safety, and healthy habits. In addition to contributing to decision-making, you can win prizes, including Apple Airpods, bullet blenders (for healthy smoothies!), SJU basketball game tickets, and a 'free' campus parking ticket. Thank you in advance for your time! Posted by Dean Waite. 11/14
Observation about the Navajo People from a P4 Student! We continue to celebrate Native American & Alaskan Native Heritage Month by sharing an observation from a P4 student who completed an APPE at an Indian Health Services facility in Crownpoint, New Mexico. "The Navajo people are kind and humble people who continue to overcome immense adversity. From my time at IHS, I've learned that Navajo Native Americans greatly cherish their traditions, some of which include jewelry crafting, fry bread, family, and faith." Posted by Dr. Thomas. 11/14
