Happy Friday to All from the UHPO!

Just a couple of notes about UHPO’s role at Orientation this year:

1. The main UHPO session will be on Mondays at 1 p.m. in the Denman Room BEFORE the official orientation check-in. For those reaching out to your students, will you send the flyer in this email entitled “Orientation Meeting Invite” to your students? It gives the session time/details. We are also reaching out but sometimes it means more coming from you all. I am hoping to get as many of the students seen during the 1 p.m. meeting on Monday as possible.

2. I have attached the quarter page flyer for the suggested health professions freshman fall schedule as well. It’s a two-sided PDF. One side is nursing and related HPs (listed on the flyer). The other side is medical, dental and all other related HPs (also listed on the flyer). Print however you choose and hand them out to any and all students who might need them. We will also have these at our sessions but I am hopeful that this year you all can help us advocate for this schedule as much as possible. With the increased number of students at orientation each week, we simply cannot meet with everyone.

3. For students interested in special programs (FANS, JAMP, DEAP), they will still have to meet with us. These meetings will be group sessions and students can sign up at either our UHPO Main Session on Monday or during the information fair on Tuesday at the UHPO table.

4. Within the next few days, I will be sending a slide to be included in the group advising session that generally talks about UHPO’s services, location, etc.

5. UHPO will be having two additional group sessions at Orientation. They will be held Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. However, the room we have is INCREDIBLY small (Chicano-Cultural Room, seats 25). So, our hope is that only students who are absolutely unable to meet with us on Mondays come to these sessions.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about Orientation or UHPO in general. We appreciate all that you do to help students who are interested in health professions!

Thanks,
