If you're interested, fill out the applications ASAP because they're due on Saturday (Nov. 3rd). See message below for more info. Yetunde Fatunde The concept for a UCI Student-Run Free Clinic was first proposed in 2006 by a dedicated group of medical students as a way to expand the services available to the medically underserved community in Santa Ana. UCI medical students in collaboration with the School of Nursing and UCI student volunteers are creating a full-service primary care clinic where these patients can receive continuity of care provided a student-run free clinic. Eventually, our hope is that we will be able to provide patients with dentistry, vision care, legal services, and mental health counseling to work hand-in-hand to start to close the gap in health care access in the Santa Ana community. We are now accepting applications for student volunteers, so please tell the members of your chapter that the application can be found online at www.ucifreeclinic.org and then sent to uci.free.clinic@gmail.com as soon as possible, we are currently interviewing. If you need more time please email back and let us know. Also, please confirm that you received this email and are distributing it to your members. Thank you!! Thank you very much, Tatianne Velo, member of the UCI Student-Run Free Clinic Project UCI School of Medicine PRIME-LC MSI -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

HPV awareness Message-ID: <49503.72.211.208.113.1194305893.squirrel@webmail.uci.edu> Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing fine and that your midterms were good. The next MAPS meeting is about HPV awareness. I am sure that a lot of you have seen the commercials on TV telling you to get the vaccine, but how do they expect you to get a vaccine for something you know nothing about? Well, thats what we're here for. MAPS will be having a member of the health education center come and tell us if and when we should get these HPV vaccine. To show you how serious HPV is, here are some statistics on it: -20 million people are currently infected with HPV -HPV is most common in young people who are in their late teens & early 20's (that is, us college student!) -HPV is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the U.S -Strands of HPV are known to cause cervical cancer To learn more about HPV and the HPV vaccine, come out to the MAPS meeting on Tuesday (November 6th) at 5:00pm in HH 118. This is one MAPS meeting you dont want to miss. Hope to see you there.

Last week five orange nooses were hung on the clothesline project that was put up in support for the "Rally Against Hate" at CSU-Fullerton in the QUAD. This ignorant act took place anonymously the night before the rally. As I am sure most of you have heard, there has been an influx of reposts of noose hangings all across the country in the recent months. Why is this a problem? Because the noose represents one thing: the murder of Black bodies. Nooses historically (and in many instances today) were used to murder Black men and women via lynching. The noose hangings that have been manifesting themselves lately say that racism and Black hate and disrespect are very much so still with us. Black people are just as much Americans as any other ethnic group here in the U.S. and therefore it is unacceptable for such incidents to continue to occur. That is why this week Cal State Fullerton will be hosting events in protest of the noose hanging on their campus. Please see the facebook group for more information on the events. http://uci.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19687723904 These racist events not only affect students at Cal State Fullerton, they affect us all as Black Americans. Tomorrow students at CSU-Fullerton will be wearing ORANGE in protest because the nooses that were hung were orange (one of the school colors). For Black Wednesday tomorrow (which will be at the tables at the Student Center) please wear orange to be in solidarity and support of the CSU-Fullerton students. There is also a silent protest at Fullerton from 11:30am-1pm and a discussion forum that evening from 7pm-9pm. A secure carpool has not been established however if anyone is interested in attending or helping in a carpool for the discussion forum at 7pm please sign up at Black Wednesday or e-mail myself by 3pm tomorrow swyattpa@uci.edu. Unfortunately ASU will not be able to guarantee a carpool for the 11:30am protest but if you are interested in attending here is the Fullerton address: 800 N.

IMPORTANT Message-ID: <1b2726dc0711301523m71a02d65t34b6e96065869810@mail.gmail.com> Good Afternoon, As some of you know, ASU will be ordering sweatshirts for us to wear next qarter (since the weather's starting to get colder). So, if you want one of these exclusive joints you need to either find any board member and give them an envelope with: $30, your name and your size. OR you can leave the same envelope upstairs in the Cross Cultural Center's offices in the ASU mailbox to insure the security of your payment. After finals week starts please ONLY TURN IN YOUR MONEY UPSTAIRS as board members have tests to take too : ) The payment for the sweatshirts can be turned in no later than Wednesday December, 12 at 3:00pm. Again payment is DUE DEC 12 at 3:00pm. Thanks, P.S. if you want to order an XXL Sweatshirt it will be $2 extra. -- Sincerely, Russell Curry Third Year Biological Sciences Major Afrikan Student Union Co-Director of Communications 07/08 From ryanmh at uci.edu Fri Nov 30 22:07:32 2007 From: ryanmh at uci.edu (Ryan M. Hernandez) Date: Fri Nov 30 22:07:43 2007 Subject: [Asu-list] Peace Flag Message-ID: <52428.128.195.100.232.1196489252.squirrel@webmail.uci.edu> Hey Everyone, If this interests you contact the person mentioned below. "My name is Ameena Higgins and I am an Ambassador for the Campaign for Conscience, a new club at UCI. Campaign for Conscience has been established to promote peace and compassion on the UCI campus while raising questions about local and global responsibility and ethical leadership and action. Our first undertaking is a creative intervention into the campus space of Ring Road entitled, The Peace Flag Project. In May 2008 Ring Road will be circled with several hundred 'Peace Flags' whose aim is to raise awareness about the 40+ ongoing-armed conflicts in our world. Conceptually modeled after Tibetan prayer flags, which traditionally promote wisdom, peace, compassion, and strength, each Peace Flag will be a large square of colored fabric with a statement providing information about one of the many ongoing conflicts. Several flags will be dedicated to each conflict, allowing for a short narrative to develop that provides the context and circumstances of each individual conflict, plus ways to help and get involved. The Peace Flags will be made by various campus groups and clubs, another facet of the project being to unite the UCI campus in a communal effort for peace and compassion. I am writing to invite the Afrikan Student Union to create a set of Peace Flags for the Spring project. It is incredibly vital to the aims of the project that the Peace Flags are made by THE UCI COMMUNITY. It is an opportunity to acknowledge a common ideal of peace within the diversity of our campus community, and promote the Afrikan Student Union?s role in it as an actively tolerant and contributing member. Our intention is to show the extent to which conflict pervades our world and the extent to which peace is desperately needed. Because we do not confront these conflicts on a daily basis in our normal lives as Orange County students or in our popular media, it is easy and natural to ignore that they are a constant reality for millions of people around the world. To be uninformed is to be complicit, in that many of the things we buy, use or support contribute indirectly to these problems. Perpetuating the state and habit of ignorance does not contribute to a more positive world for oneself or others. By transforming our community thoroughfare of Ring Road into an encounter with global issues, it is hoped that more and more individuals will be inspired to recognize their place in humanity and to examine their role in it. Ultimately, it is hoped that people will be aesthetically moved by the Peace Flags to lead a more active and compassionate life. Please visit our website www.campaignforconscience.com to see sample Peace Flags and find more information about our project and club. As an Ambassador for this project you can also contact me with any questions or concerns you might have about being involved. Your support and collaboration would mean a great deal to the resonance of this project within the campus community. I hope you will consider contributing to this effort of good will and compassion. Please get back to me ASAP in order for the project to run as smoothly as possible. All Good Things, Ameena Higgins www.campaignforconscience.com" -- Ryan M.
