Hi everyone:  I wanted to let you know that I will be out of the office 
alot this week--both my sister and mom are having some health issues so 
I need to stay on top of things with them.  That said, I did want to 
let you know that there are several premed conferences coming up in 
April.  April 1st NYU medical school's SNMA chapter will host a 
conference.  The details are in my office and I will send the flyer out 
when I am in tomorrow.  Another big conference, with a recruitment 
fair, will be held at UMNDJ's medical school in Newark, NJ on April 
22nd.  The medical, dental, optometry, and vet schools from 
Massachusetts to D.C. will be on hand to speak with students one on 
one.  Our own premed club and postbac club are working with me to 
organize a bus to take us there.  Students who are interested should 
let me know ASAP.  There will be a deposit (so that people are sure to 
come) which will be refundable IF you attend.  Students taking the MCAT 
in April will not be able to come--its the same day!  Both of these 
events will share admissions, financial aid and MCAT prep seminars.  
Yours truly will do the financial aid/debt management talk for both 
events.  Another upcoming event is our own health fair.  Again, details 
will follow this week.  Please tell your friends to join the listserv!  
I will be posting answers next week to questions I have been gathering 
regarding the linkage programs.


reminder:
STUDENTS APPLYING THIS YEAR WHO WANT SPRING COMMITTEE LETTERS MUST HAVE 
THEIR FILES COMPLETE BY THIS WEEK!!

Please send me information about events or issues that you think I need 
to address to the larger body.  Suggestions regarding where to get 
tutoring, volunteer opportunities you know of and anything else of 
interest to all of us would be GREATLY appreciated.

Enjoy the first days of March!  Ms. Wood-Hill
