If you are interested in the health care field, this conference is a great opportunity to hear from practicing physicians. Its a great chance to explore the fast growing field of integrative medicine and learn about the links between nutrition and health. Doctors that will be speaking at the conference include Andrew Weil, Fredi Kronenburg, Dr. Victoria Maizes, and many more. These doctors do not speak at many conferences; it is a great chance to learn from the leaders in integrative medicine. Almost forgetting the best part, this is a nutrition conference. Nutrition Conference means great food! You will get to sample a multitude of delicious and healthy meals. All of these meals are based on healthy eating habits and anti-inflammatorycontent. In other words, the food is not only good but good for you!

Mentor Connect The Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME) and the Center for Equity Diversity and Inclusion (CEDI) would like to introduce MentorConnect. Mentor Connect is an electronic database of physicians on a catalyst web site. Through MentorConnect you will be able to request a meeting with a physician, (who is a member of a group that is underrepresented in medicine), in an area of specialty that you might be interested in, and potentially build a mentorship relationship. Below is information (also on the catalyst site) that explains the program. Mentor names are added periodically, so be sure to check frequently. Feel free to contact me with questions. Catalyst web site: https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/dacosta/29881/ What is Mentor Connect? This is a new service (and a pilot program) provided for all UW Under-Represented-in-Medicine (URM) medical students sponsored by the collaborative efforts of Center for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (CEDI) and Office of Graduate Medical Education (GME). Mentor Connect will enable you to meet with a local minority physician or resident one-on-one. This mentorship program is flexible and designed to give the student and physician mentor the ability to customize the experience so that it meets the interests and needs of the student. The mentorship can be a meeting for coffee, or a meeting over breakfast, lunch or dinner. The point of the program is to facilitate one-on-one communication between a minority physician mentor and interested medical students about the life, balance and practice of a practicing physician, faculty member, or resident, and what a medical student may need to know to prepare for their future career choice. How will Mentor Connect work? · The medical student will be provided a list of local minority physicians to review which will include: · Physician name, their specialty, race/ethnicity, location of practice, dates and times available, and their contact information. · The medical student will inform the point person in either the CEDI (if a faculty or community physician) or the Office of GME (if a resident) of the physician they are planning to contact, and the date when they are planning to connect in person. · Contact person for meeting with a resident: Shawn Banta sbanta@uw.edu; 206-616-8286; · Contact person for meeting with a faculty or community physician: Mary Walls mwalls@uw.edu ; 206-616-3047. · The medical student will contact the physician themselves and make their own arrangements. · Disclaimer: The CEDI or the Office of GME will not be responsible for providing coverage for expenses incurred. The student will be responsible for their expenses, e.g. travel, meals. There is no expectation that the mentor will pay for the students expenses. What do students need to do to participate? · The interested medical student must be an enrolled student in UW School of Medicine. · An UW Netid and password will be required to enter the protected website. · The student should go to the Mentor Connect website at: https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/dacosta/29881/. Mentor names are added periodically, so students should check back. Any other suggestions for students who want to participate? · We suggest you consider sending your selected mentor an email of intent and provide them with a little background on who you are and what you are interested in. · You may also want to consider attaching your resume (this of course is optional).

Summer Institute on Sustainability and Energy 2013 Hey folks, Last summer I participated in the Summer Institute on Sustainability and Energy. It is essentially and intense interdisciplinary summer program where participants get to learn about many topics related to sustainability and energy, work on interdisciplinary research teams, tour Argonne National Laboratory. Each team will also get to compete for best research project, and the top team wins a monetary award. Last year my team won, and the prize ended up being $1000 per person! Each person also gets several networking opportunities as well. Better yet, participants from outside the Chicago area receive full coverage of travel costs, and will get to stay at UIC dorms free of charge. It is a really great program, and I really recommend you check it out, and tell others to check it out. Please don’t email me back though… Send all inquiries to Thomas Alaan! The contact information is located on the program website: http://sise.phy.uic.edu/ . More information is also attached. Deadline is July 1st 12.

A flier with further information on the scholarship is attached below.

Gene grew up on a farm in the Yakima Valley and began working in the Alaska salmon canneries at the young age of 16. Gene was a state wrestling champion and attended Central Washington State College on a full ride athletic scholarship. Silme graduated with honors from the University of Washington and went on to found the Seattle chapter of the Union of Democratic Filipinos. Together, they formed the Alaska Cannery Workers Association and fought the brutal working conditions and racist management of the industry. Despite opposition from all sides, Gene and Silme founded the Rank and File Committee in 1977 to struggle for union democracy and fair working conditions. They were elected to the leadership of International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 37 in 1980, and worked hard to build links and solidarity with the people of the Philippines. Tragically, both were murdered on June 1, 1981. Corrupt former Local 37 President Tony Baruso and Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos were later implicated in the assassination. Their memory lives on as inspiration to workers and students striving for justice. Who should apply? The scholarship is awarded yearly to students entering or transferring into the University of Washington who are committed to the principles of justice and equality and have demonstrated financial need. Students with an interest in labor studies or a family background in labor and social justice are encouraged to apply.
