Morgantown Happenings - January 23, 2024

Match Day is fast approaching and we need to have a definite headcount of who will be attending the Morgantown event. This year, students will be allotted 4 tickets for guests (students do not need a ticket). If you need more tickets or will not be using all your tickets, class officers will be putting together the process for that.

Please let Christina Politte know by Friday January 26 if you will attend Match Day in Morgantown.

The WVU School of Medicine Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is seeking Medical Student Representatives to participate on the Committee to serve as a voice of the Medical Student Body. Anyone with a passion for this mission, underrepresented minority in medicine, LGBTQIA, or would just like to participate should put their name forward for consideration. Contact Dr. Hashmi for information.
