*NEW* Blanket Outside Activity Requests
Blanket Outside Activity Requests (OAR) can be obtained for activities that multiple students intend to participate in and traditionally required an OAR (e.g. patient care). To get a "blanket" OAR a student representative should provide Dr. Landoll with a brief description of the activity and time frame. If approved, a memo from the brigade will be obtained. This memo enables subsequent students who would like to participate in that activity to simply email Dr. Landoll to ensure good military and academic standing, thus bypassing the traditional OAR process.
