Graduate Student Organization Meeting MINUTES
November 4, 2015 12 pm- 1 pm, BRB381
Students express that this promise of dependent coverage was made to us when we matriculated and we are upset because the responsibility of this university is to its students. There is a feeling that the university should take care of us similar to employees and to how they have promised to take care of us. And concerned that there are students in this state-funded prominent university who are forced to go on WIC and/or food stamps- that the university should have some awareness of this, and want to avoid it. And worried that it seems like they are taking incremental steps away from the responsibility that they have to us at students. Hinting at, what comes next, how far does this go? Is grad council helping us, advocating for us? Some of us think yes, some of us don’t think so. What started as a 100% subsidy turned into an 80% subsidy, and then next year not sure what it will be….. If we lose dependent coverage people will go onto Medicaid, will lose their caretakers, it will be a huge stress. University is forcing students to become dependent on the state. Is it worth talking to our faculty about this? Rick thinks they are going to agree with us. Provost would be more direct route. Talk about if we could make a difference being more involved in the student health advisory meetings. Lilli Winfree is our representative on student health advisory- we only have one. She is our advocate. Is this a closed meeting? Or could other students go?
Subject Have something to say? Submit an article to the OHSU student newsletter! Body We are looking for article submissions from current students (including you!) to publish in the Winter 2015 issue of The Pulse, the OHSU student newsletter. The Pulse is managed entirely by students. It features compelling news articles about Oregon healthcare, important updates from OHSU departments, and unique opinions and perspectives from students. If you’re interested, please check out previous editions of the Pulse at http://tinyurl.com/pulseohsu. Right now, we are soliciting articles that are around 300-500 words on anything related to science or healthcare. We are especially interested in something written specifically about your perspective or experience as a student. The deadline for article submissions is Friday, November 20th, and the Winter 2015 edition will be published in early December. If you have any questions, comments, or interesting article proposals, please email [email protected]. We look forward to reading your work!
Data science is an interdisciplinary field about the processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from large volumes of data in various forms – so-called "big data.” As a STEM professional, extracting knowledge and insight from data is your bread and butter – and that skill is marketable to many companies that collect big data. In this session, learn from current data scientists about their fields, positions and career paths, and the skills needed to succeed.
