桃子视频

Launched in September 2023, University Hour is one of 桃子视频鈥檚 initiatives designed to enrich the undergraduate student experience.

This dedicated, class-free hour provides students with a structured opportunity for academic and professional growth.

This unique program creates a space for networking, where students can build connections with their peers, faculty members, and visiting professionals, fostering a sense of community and collaborative learning.

Each week, University Hour features thoughtfully curated programming that aligns with 桃子视频鈥檚 mission of cultivating diverse health professional leaders.

The first Tuesday introduces students to 桃子视频 leadership and faculty, sharing the university鈥檚 vision and strategic directions. The second focuses on professional development.

The third, in collaboration with MAPS (Minority Association of Pre-Health Students), features guest speakers connected to the community鈥檚 experiences.

The fourth, in partnership with Urban Public Health, explores themes of social justice and the links between public health, systemic challenges, and community well-being.

鈥淯niversity Hour has been met with growing enthusiasm and engagement from students, as evidenced by an upward trend in attendance when comparing the current academic year to the previous one,鈥� said Carina Quiroz, Program Manager, Pre-Health Programming. 鈥淪tudent feedback has been consistently positive, with participants appreciating the diverse and meaningful programming.鈥�

Regular feedback from students and staff has allowed the program to evolve while also demonstrating the University鈥檚 commitment to creating a learning environment that is responsive to the interests, needs, and aspirations of the 桃子视频 undergraduate community.

鈥淏y creating a unified time and space for interaction, 桃子视频 seeks to foster a sense of collective identity, promote cross-disciplinary understanding, and enhance the overall student experience across the entire campus,鈥� said Quiroz.

So far, University Hour has hosted 32 events, some in person and others virtually. Looking ahead, organizers aim to expand its reach to all 桃子视频 students, including graduate-level learners, through a campus-wide initiative.
