Engagement Mixer for Community Health

Community Health Learner Engagement Mixer, September 24, 2-5pm, at the Worcester Area Mission Society, 6 Institute Rd, Worcester.  

This is an opportunity for local agencies to explain who they are and what services they provide, as well as upcoming priorities and projects for which they imagine student roles.  Students actively engaged in existing community-based projects are also invited to host tables explaining the work and engaging new learners to continue toward community goals.

This event allows agencies and project-based teams to reach students, faculty and staff from different schools at one time, and to recruit students from different majors for different project needs.  First year med students will attend the fair in batches sorted by learning community. MS3s placed with community partners will be well-positioned to support agency participation and succession planning for their own longitudinal projects.  

This is a free-standing event with UMass Chan and the Coalition for a Healthy Greater Worcester (CHGW) and not a requirement of the PCHC.  Agencies not hosting our students can still participate in the Learner Engagement Mixer.  

No need to lug a lot of materials.  Bring yourself and your ideas. We'll use Mixer Playing Cards like the ones below to guide brief "speed-dating" style interactions between those with projects or activities and those seeking them.
