MED2029 Newsletter 5/11

[Lori Ferguson]

Dear Class of 2029,
As we head into the final stretch before summer, keep pushing—you’re almost there. And as always, don’t forget to prioritize your well-being and mental health along the way. Here are a few announcements and reminders to keep in mind:


HSS SPIRIT WEEK
As we head into our final week, we’re bringing a little extra fun to wrap things up—Spirit Week is officially on!
Each day will have a different theme, so come dressed up, show your creativity, and celebrate making it through the year together. Whether you go all out or keep it simple, we’d love to see everyone participate!
And don't forget to arrive a little earlier on Wednesday for a class photo at 8:45 AM!

Monday: Dress as your future doctor vibe/specialty with breakfast provided!
Tuesday: Sports Jersey/Rep your undergraduate school
Wednesday: Upstate Gear Day with a class photo at 8:45 AM
Thursday/Friday: Zoom


STUDENT SPOTLIGHTS ✨

USG is in the process of launching weekly Student Spotlights on our new Class of 2029 Instagram page (@upstate_ncom2029)! Each week, we'll feature one to two classmates to learn more about who they are beyond the white coat—their interests, passions, and what makes them them.

WE ARE NOW OFFERING TWO OPTIONS: a brief filmed interview OR submission of written responses/photos to provided interview questions. If you are interested, please sign up using the form below, and we'll reach out to schedule a time that works for you!

✏️ FEEDBACK FORM
As we just finished our Respiratory Unit, don't forget to provide your feedback (regarding any part of the curriculum), which is always valued! To do so, please use the curriculum form below. It’s checked weekly, and current course feedback will be prioritized. If multiple people share the same concern, please submit individually—every comment helps. For urgent or personal matters, contact Alec (purcelal at upstate.edu) or Aissata (samakea at upstate.edu).

💻 TECH OFFICE HOURS
Tech Rep Office Hours are on-demand (in-person or virtual) sessions to discuss tech-related questions or concerns, seek assistance with Anki or third-party access, or request recommendations for software and hardware.  If you need support or just want to learn some new tech tips, reach out to Teja (BUDDHAVT at upstate.edu) to schedule a session!


Once again, if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns about these updates, feel free to reach out to any of your class officers. Happy to see you all!

Warm regards,
USG Class of 2029
