This upcoming fall semester, we are seeking alumni volunteers to help with mock interviews as pre-health students prepare for their next steps as professionals.

Health professional school interviews can be a major source of stress for students, and thoughtful guidance from alumni who have been through the process can make a meaningful difference.

Please note: We are looking for medical/PA/dental students or graduates who may be available for one or more 1-hour virtual meetings (set by you and a student participant) the weeks of August 17 and August 24.

Volunteer Expectations:

1. Virtually interview students via Zoom (Questions will be provided in advance)
2. Provide feedback to students
3. Engage in meaningful, supportive conversations with students
4. Watch a short orientation training video prior to the event

Alumni, please register via Qualtrics: https://msu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e9wJW4SBDtDi1Wm

The smoky skies aren't just an inconvenience. Poor air quality can affect everyone, especially those with heart or respiratory conditions.

As smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to impact Michigan, take care of yourself and each other as air quality conditions change.

In case conditions worsen, it is critical to monitor air quality in the link in the comments.

Happy Independence Day! 250 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was adopted, establishing the United States of America.

Today, we reflect on the ideals expressed in the Declaration—that "all are created equal" and endowed with the unalienable rights of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

As a community dedicated to learning, discovery, and the exchange of ideas, we wish our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends a safe and meaningful holiday.
