PEER HEALTH EXCHANCE WILL MEET IN THE DEAN'S CONFERENCE (819East bldg) ROOM
TOMORROW, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST FROM NOON-2PM. Please attend or contact
Dacia Read (email address below) for more information.
Again this fall, I'd like to ask for your help again in spreading the word
about PHE's volunteer opportunities for Hunter students by forwarding
publicity emails to the Pre-Health list-servs/interested students and
allowing PHE volunteers to advertise PHE in the Pre-Health office. If you
are able to help in this way please let me know so that I can have Hunter
student volunteers follow-up with you soon by providing you with these
materials.
Finally, Hunter PHE would like to host an info session at noon on Tuesday,
September 1, but were told that they will not be able to reserve rooms on
campus until after the re-chartering process is complete late next week. I
know that Maria was able to use the Pre-Health Conference room for a PHE
event last Fall with your support, do you think it is possible for PHE to
again use that space to provide interested Hunter students with an
opportunity to learn more about PHE on Tuesday afternoon? I look forward to
hearing your thoughts and thank you in advance!
Take Care,
Dacia

Dear Lolita, Paula, and Eunice,
I'm passing on a number of attachments (all are Word documents even if they
don't look like it) from the Peer Health Exchange. This is a wonderful
opportunity for students who are interested in medicine, education, working
with young people, leadership, etc. Students in the program work with high
school students in their schools to serve as health educators. The students
in the Honors College who joined the group last year are not just
enthusiastic about it, but the program has helped focus them academically
and has given them potential directions for post-college careers.
I've copied the PHE group manager, Dacia Read, on this email, so you can get
in touch with her directly if you have any questions.
Best,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
I know that this is a busy time, so I am forwarding the email that I sent
you last week in hopes that you'll have to time review and respond this
week.
Primarily, I want to be sure that you think the statements for individuals
on the Hunter Campus and volunteer job descriptions will be suitable tools
for demonstrating to campus officials, PHE's value for Hunter students as
volunteers and high school students as program participants. If these
materials will build the useful description that you envisioned, then please
confirm that you will be able to forward those materials (attached) to the
appropriate individuals on campus and in the honors college and let me know
if / how I should best follow-up.
Lastly, I am currently looking for ways to reserve a room for an info
session on Tuesday, September 1. Given the charter process will not be
complete for clubs by then, we need to find a way to reserve a room outside
of the realm of USG room reservations. Do you have suggestions as to how to
do this?
Thanks,
Dacia

Jonathan -
I am back from California and had time to review your email one more time. I
really appreciate your sharing the "PHE Statement to Department Heads and
Campus Officials" with the Honors College advisors at Hunter. I am
interested to know if they had further questions or suggestions as to how
and when they can tell their students about PHE. Please let me know how I
can help them introduce PHE opportunities to their students this Fall. If
possible, please send me their email addresses or the email address of the
appropriate coordinator so that Hunter volunteers can reach out to them in
September to set up times for possible class announcements.
In regards to collecting additional specifics to share with Honor's College
directors across the City, I am hoping that sending them copies of volunteer
job descriptions will be a useful addition to the memo, as they specifically
outline the time commitment and requirements for volunteers. I have attached
Leadership Council Member and Health Educator job descriptions here.
I think it is important to note that PHE will not have the capacity to train
volunteers in Honors College programs outside of the colleges where we will
have sites this year - Hunter and Lehman. We remain interested in exploring
the suggestion you made earlier in the year to have a "CUNY Honor's College
PHE Site (or Program)" that could train volunteers from different colleges
who are enrolled in Honors college programs. At this point, we are not
prepared to lead programming for that group of volunteers this year. I
appreciate your sharing info about PHE with other Honors College directors,
but ask that if you do so, you make it clear to them that PHE is interesting
in looking into this possibility more deeply in 2010-11 and will reach out
to them again this year to learn more about the best ways to do so.
Please let me know if you know more about the specifics of a Hunter Honors
College activities fair this Fall. I look forward to helping Hunter
volunteers with their recruitment efforts on campus this Fall and know they
will be eager to attend the fair if there is an opportunity to do so.
I hope you have a great weekend!
Dacia

Dear Dacia,
I'm now back from vacation and have had a chance to look at your
attachments. I think it would be best if Linda sent these out to
departments at Hunter; I am not really the appropriate person to do so. Or
she might have Dean Robert Greenberg do so. I will pass these on to my
academic advisors and we'll talk about them when we meet next week.
I would like to get a document from you that I could send to the other
Honors College directors. The materials you've given me are helpful, but do
you have something that describes literally what the students will be
doing--e.g., "Students will spend X hours a week at one of our partner
schools...." I think this will go a long way in convincing toward
convincing the directors that this is not only a good source of community
service programming, but will benefit their students and the high school
students in multiple ways.
Many thanks,
Jonathan

Linda and Dr. Schoenwald,
Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. I am very grateful to have your
support going into the next volunteer selection period. I look forward to
engaging more Hunter students in the Hunter PHE program this Fall.
Following-up on the conversation we had yesterday, I have attached materials
for you to email out this month.
Attached please find the following:
. "PHE at Hunter College - Statement to Department Heads and Campus
Officials"
. "PHE at Hunter College - Statement to incoming freshmen and target
groups"
o please send these statements to the inboxes of students on the first
year list-servs and the education, nursing and pre-med block list-servs. If
there are other online-newsletters or web pages that you think will be
frequented by students this summer, these statements can also be posted
there.
. List of Target Academic Departments and Campus Offices
o This is a list of departments and offices that PHE volunteers will
specifically reach out to during fall recruitment. I agree with Linda that
receiving this information from one of the two of you this summer will help
to illustrate to the listed individuals that you think PHE can be useful to
their students' academic experience at Hunter. I will follow-up with the
heads of each department and office late next week to request their guidance
on how students can better connect their work with PHE to their academic
course load. I appreciate you expressing support for PHE to these
individuals in preparation for my outreach and the recruitment work that
students do in September.
o Dr. Schoenwald, please let me know which Macaulay Honors staff you
forward the statements to and which seminar instructors it would be best for
me to follow-up with in regards to setting up class announcements, should
their not be a Macaulay-specific activities fair. Thank you!
I look forward to hearing from both of you about the dates for student
orientations in August. Our Hunter student volunteers are already beginning
to explore the fall chartering process and tabling sign-up process with USG
in preparation for their quickly approaching recruitment period.
Please let me know if you have questions. I will check-in soon to let you
know more about Hunter PHE's progress.
Take care and thank you,
Dacia
.
