In this program, graduate students in the School of Public Health are matched with one to two SPH undergraduate juniors and seniors. Being a mentor can strengthen your leadership skills and prepare you for mentoring others throughout your career path. A mentor from last year shared, "This program was a wonderful way to connect with individuals outside my immediate areas of interest and provide support for a student who was going through similar uncertainty that I experienced as an undergrad." If you are interested in serving as a mentor, please read more here about this opportunity and apply by 10/28! 

Any questions can be directed to Sarah Hicks at smd722@uw.edu.

Hello Health Sciences students!

• Do you plan to provide direct or indirect care/advocacy to patients and/or communities in your future work?
• Are you interested in COVID-19 advocacy and vaccine hesitancy issues?
• Are you a native Russian or Ukrainian speaker?
• Are you connected to or engaged with local Russian or Ukrainian communities?
• Are you interested in working at the level of WA Dept of Health?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, please read below about how you can get involved to support these issues in local communities through a partnership between Univ of Washington and WA DOH?

-----------------------

Happy fall and welcome!

We are happy to have you here at the University of Washington preparing for your career in healthcare.

I am reaching out to invite you and gauge your interest in working to combat vaccine hesitancy in Ukrainian and Russian communities in our state. I partner with WA Department of Health in this work, because of my nursing expertise and cultural background. We continue to seek members and allies of FSU communities from our state and local communities. Here in Washington, we have high numbers of Ukrainian and Russian immigrants and refugees who are part of our greater community. The most recent data from WA DOH shows that COVID vaccination in these communities remains very low (4-7%). Last year, we created a Listserv of Health Science students, recent grads, and faculty to help support this effort. We would like to invite you to join our efforts as well and welcome could utilize your health professional, language, and cultural skills. There are still significant barriers to COVID vaccination in these communities and we are working on specific initiatives:

1. If you are interested in joining the Listserv, please respond and let us know your professional track and/or language skills possessed.
2. We are in desperate need of connection to Ukrainian speaking health providers from our communities to help support the education campaign and specifically would be interested in featuring one of those providers in a COVID education video or audio interview or podcast- if you are in health care and have those language skills or know of anyone who does and would be willing to participate- please reach out to me!
3. I also wanted to share the current “COVID Vaccine Toolkit” of resources to support this community – all resources can be shared/distributed broadly https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1C0sn0vYLnOIXNz8O9ex9rz3aql-A6tUg
4. Also, please utilize and share this FREE CE course module with colleagues interacting with these communities in their work https://immunitycommunitywa.org/courses/fostering-covid-19-vaccine-confidence-in-russian-and-ukrainian-speaking-communities/
5. Lastly, one of our FSU Community Workgroup members, Andrey Shuvarikov, will be conducting outreach to faith-based communities throughout WA state this fall and will be seeking volunteers with a health science background who speak Russian or Ukrainian to outreach with him in person to these communities.

We are in a very timely state of our pandemic crisis right now and need all the help we can get.

Please reach out with any questions, ideas, or comments.

Student Epidemic Action Leaders (SEAL) Team - Link here

The Department of Epidemiology’s SEAL Team provides students with experience in applied epidemiology through methods training and field assignments at state and local health departments.

What does the SEAL Team do?

SEALs will attend in-person meetings and complete at-home assignments to develop knowledge and skills in communicable disease and applied epidemiology. All training activities will prepare SEALs to sign up for field assignments at the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and local health jurisdictions (LHJs) where they will assist in outbreak investigations and other public health preparedness and response activities. The nature of the field assignments will depend entirely on what real public health issues are affecting our community. 

SEAL Team Competencies

What is the time commitment?

SEALs will enroll in EPI 594 in Winter 2022, Spring 2022, and Fall 2022. They will also have the option of taking a public health surveillance course (EPI 506) in Spring 2022. During the Winter quarter, we will have weekly meetings. SEALs will begin signing up for field assignments in the Spring. During the Summer quarter, students will have the option to register for one credit, but can remain on the SEAL Team without registering. In Summer quarter, there will be no in-person meetings, but SEALs will still be expected to complete field assignments, regardless of registration status. In the Fall quarter, meetings will be once a month. 

How do I join?

Masters and PhD level students in any department in the School of Public Health can apply by October 26, 2021 at 12:00 PM. There are no prerequisite classes. View application instructions.

Those selected will be offered a position before winter quarter registration. 

Is this for credit and can it count as my practicum?

The first quarter will count for 2 credits while subsequent quarters will each count for 1 credit. SEALs are not required to register for a summer credit, but can if they want. It may be possible to develop your SEAL Team commitment into a practicum, though this will be on a case by case basis. 

For questions, please contact SEAL Team Director, Janet Baseman (jbaseman@uw.edu) or SEAL Team RA, Anne Massey (aemassey@uw.edu).

UW Community Circle

Embodiment of Racial Healing: Learning and Growing Utilizing Cultural Somatics
Kickoff Event

October 28, 2021
4:00-5:00PM

The purpose of the community circle is to come together as a UW community to remember the
relatives we are still losing through the pandemic of covid and racism, acknowledge the
collective trauma we have experienced, and gather together as a collective to highlight lessons
we have learned in the past 20 months and integrate them into our work as professionals in
higher education. As we move forward, we strive to intentionally
approach that work with an anti-racist, socially just, and equitable
lens. This community circle is intentionally created for UW faculty and
staff to span the academic year to allow us to process together as a
community to live and work in healthier space physically, emotionally,
mentally, and spiritually.

Part of this work is a journey with the book, My Grandmother’s Hands
by Resmaa Menakem, which focuses on how we can build a
community of care together by addressing our embodied trauma. Ebooks
are available via UW Library. This opportunity is open to all UW
faculty and staff.

HSTCMP 202 World Wars I and II Digital Histories

MW 1:30pm – 3:20pm

SLN: 16541

Dr. Laurie Marhoefer

The First and Second World Wars were human-made catastrophes that engulfed the globe and killed upwards of eighty million people, including tens of millions of civilians. Each war remade the world. Their aftershocks reverberate today and continue to shape global politics. This class explores the history of both wars, focusing on military technology, ethics, racism, empire, gender and sexuality, and social history. We will use digital methods to uncover and share stories from the wars that shaped the modern world. No prior tech experience needed.

I&S credits, Optional linked writing course (ENGL 298 C) for C or W credits

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to History academic advising at histadv@uw.edu with any questions! You might be closer to completing a History minor than you think: https://history.washington.edu/minors.

We're super excited about this class, and hope you will let students know about it.  It is open to all levels, including first and second-year students. Students do not have to be Drama majors to register, and the instructor is Dr. Nikki Yeboah, professor, oral historian and storyteller.  Here's the class description:

 "This course is designed for anyone interested in exploring and sharing the personal stories they have to tell. Through exposure to critical theory and solo documentary theater artists, students will be guided through an intense process of self-discovery and self-devising that examines who we are in relation to others in culture. What does it mean in this world to be Asian, wealthy, white, conservative, gay, poor, Muslim, middle-class, Black, a man? Over the course of the quarter, students will draft, re-draft, and rehearse a solo performance from their own lived experience. The course will culminate in a public performance of student work-in-progress/process."

Course Description

Earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal, conflict in Syria, and Ebola outbreaks in West Africa and Congo are just a few examples of humanitarian emergencies the global community has sought to address through coordinated disaster relief efforts. This course looks at the evolution of humanitarian assistance and the guiding principles of a growing humanitarian community made up of non-governmental organizations, governments, international organizations, the private sector, and philanthropic donors. Sample discussion topics will include humanitarian principles, motivations for relief, aid delivery and logistics, global health challenges, refugees/internally displaced persons, disaster risk reduction, civil-military coordination, and the many roadblocks that stand in the way of effective humanitarian response. The course will include traditional lecture, guest lectures from leaders in the humanitarian community, scenario based exercises, and assignments that will prepare the student for a broader understanding of the disaster relief community.
