Library events
Here’s what’s happening at the library in March!
- Words of Wisdom Project March 3 - 14
Welcome back to campus MS4s! As you prepare for Match Day and the next exciting chapter in your lives, we hope you’ll help us by leaving some Words of Wisdom for incoming students. Stop by the library or Simulation Center to fill out a card with your valuable advice or memories of your time as a med student at Upstate. In July, when the new first years come for Orientation, we’ll create a display with all your insight. We are certain the incoming students will appreciate anything you share that may help them.
If you can’t make it to the library, we’d love to collect your thoughts. Follow the link below to send your thoughts virtually: https://forms.office.com/r/uVHAz3D7vB
