by JACKSON CONAN KENNEDY 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hello MSPQC Students! Thank you to those of you who completed our scheduling Doodle poll! I am writing to announce that the first session of our 2021 MSPQC Career Development Series will take place on Friday, May 7th, from 11 AM to 11:30 AM. You will be able to join this session at the following link: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/96468461493?from=addon All subsequent sessions of this series will take place on Tuesdays from 12 to 1 PM (please see attached syllabus for details). Due to the interactive nature of these sessions, they will not be recorded (with the exception of our first meeting on May 7th, which will be recorded and uploaded to the Canvas site). Powerpoints, resources, and other documents, however, will be made available to you after each session on our Canvas website. Speaking of which - you all have been added to the MSPQC Career Development Canvas website<https://canvas.wisc.edu/enroll/NPBM6P>. When searching the "Modules" tab, you will find course documentation, Powerpoints, resources, etc. from each session. I will go into further detail about the Canvas site on May 7th. If you happen to miss one of our sessions and the content uploaded to Canvas does not suffice for your preparation, I would be happy to meet with you individually or in small groups throughout the Summer to briefly cover what you missed. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions! Good luck on your finals, have a great weekend, and we look forward to seeing you next week! Thank you!

Hello MSPQC Students! Happy Thursday! I’m writing to let you know that UHS is opening up vaccine appointments through the weekend, with pop-up clinics this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Nicholas Recreation Center. Thousands more appointments will be available next week. Students should schedule an appointment today at go.wisc.edu/myuhs<https://myuhs.uhs.wisc.edu/login_dualauthentication.aspx>. Questions about vaccines? Visit https://covidresponse.wisc.edu/covid-19-vaccine-information/#vaccine-eligib… The American College Health Association urges students to get their first dose as soon as possible, even if they will be at another location for their second dose. Many retail pharmacies and mass vaccination sites are now able to accommodate people who require only a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines, and those sites that do not currently may be more accommodating as vaccine supply increases. UHS will also be able to provide second doses to students.
