Volunteering

Students are encouraged to build a schedule each quarter that includes coursework for their major, general education requirements and health professional school, as well as co-curricular activities including clubs, clinical exposure, and research. Community service is a great opportunity to get involved on campus/greater community, practice leadership skills, and compliment coursework. We encourage students to get started as soon as they can and to be mindful of what their schedule allows them to do.
