Pre-Health Affair 2013

On November 21st, 2013 the Student Health Consortium and Alpha Epsilon Delta, a premedical honors society, co-hosted the 4th Annual Pre-Health Affair in the HUB Lyceum. Students joined us at the event for free casino games, mocktails, and social networking. Several health-related RSO’s also tabled at the event, allowing

members to meet one another and for other students to find out more about their missions, events, and general meetings. Special thanks to the ASUW Office of Communications for running the photobooth at the event, as well as ASUW Rainy Dawg Radio for providing awesome 80’s tunes for the evening!

Going into our 4th year hosting this event, SHC is happy to have once again created a free, fun, and interactive social event for the pre-health community and other students interested in health on campus. This has always been a fun way to interact with other students and get more information about our awesome health-related RSOs. We would like to thank the over 150 students who attended and made this event such a success.

In tribute to this casino themed night there were casino tables setup for blackjack, roulette, craps, and more! The attire was semi-formal, with special bonus points for those who matched the 80’s prom theme. Although the event is free every year, we asked that attendees donated a hygiene item at the door (ie. new socks, toothbrushes, lip balm, hair ties, floss, shampoo, liquid body soap, etc.) for admittance. These items will be donated to the University District Youth Clinic (UDYC) which provides homeless, at risk, runaway, and/or street involved youth ages 13-22 the opportunity, tools, & support in transitioning to improved living while creating a safe, nurturing environment.

Finally, the Student Health Consortium and Alpha Epsilon Delta would like to acknowledge the RSO’s who agreed to table at the event and donate items to the mocktail and the raffle drawings held for casino winners throughout the night. We could not have pulled this off without you, and we look forward to many more partnerships in the future!
