Plenary speaker nominations needed!
Our Foundations site plenary speakers are the closest thing the UWSOM has to “graduation speakers”. We count on you to nominate your colleagues for this amazing and important honor. Please take a couple of minutes to nominate a speaker. You can nominate people from your Foundations site or others. Use this link to submit nominations.
Story Slam storytellers needed!
Story Slam is a unique opportunity for students to share their experiences in medical school in a storytelling fashion with their class. Patterned after the podcast, The Moth, we are looking for a wide range of stories that reflect the authentic experiences of your graduating class. Please think about yourself or consider nudging a classmate that you know has an important story to tell. Please use this link to make a submission for the event.
