[Cusom28] FW: CUSOM Orientation - FINAL DETAILS!

Tue Jul 23 14:02:13 EDT 2024

Hello, Students!

We are officially down to ONE WEEK until you start your medical school journey! 😊

Just resending the final reminders that were sent out last week…

We are looking forward to welcoming you to CUSOM! Orientation is MANDATORY and is Wednesday, July 31st through Friday, August 2nd. We have also assigned everyone a session on Tuesday, July 30th for pick-up of laptops and other materials. Please see the attached schedules for our pick-up day as well as our Orientation sessions. Below are a few details regarding Orientation and other important information related to the start of classes. Please let our Student Affairs team know if you have any questions. See you soon!

Orientation

TUESDAY, 7/30:

  *   **PLEASE NOTE: Our Pick-Up Day and all days of Orientation are for STUDENTS ONLY (no loved ones please).
  *   When you arrive and check in, you will complete the following stations:
     *   FIRST: Pick up your CUSOM laptop and receive training from our IT Team (you will complete this station FIRST). Go straight up to Lecture Hall 201 and don’t worry about the other stations and students in those areas. You will complete those stations after you get trained on your laptop.
     *   AFTER laptop training:
        *   Get fitted for your CUSOM embroidered white coat
        *   Take your professional headshot
        *   Complete a video voice file (for name pronunciation)
        *   Pick up your student ID (if you complete the submission process by 7/19)
        *   Pick up your parking pass (if you register your vehicle online by 7/29 at 11am)
        *   We will also have student-led tours available throughout the day!
  *   **PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION to the time you are scheduled to arrive on Tuesday:

O   Last name A-D, arrival 8:40 – 8:50am

  *   Dress code for Tuesday is business professional attire (shirt, tie, and jacket for men; dress or blouse and jacket for women). We will be taking professional headshots of all students on Tuesday. The headshot is from the waist up and this will be the photo we use for all four years of your time in medical school (no pressure)! 😉
  *   You may park in any unmarked parking space (not “F/S” – faculty/staff spots). Please see information below on registering for your parking permit.
  *   You will be on campus for approximately 2 hours during your pick-up timeslot, so please plan accordingly if you need to bring a water bottle or snack with you.
  *   This year, we will have a table available with information on the HPSP (Health Professions Scholarship) Program if you are interested in finding out more about military scholarships to help cover the cost of medical school.

WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY, 7/31 – 8/2:

  *   Please eat breakfast on your own before you arrive each morning during Orientation. We will not be providing breakfast, but we will have water and snacks available for you throughout the day on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  *   Please note arrival times for each day of Orientation (as listed on the attached Orientation schedule).
  *   Dress code for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of Orientation is business casual attire (no tie required; no jeans, sweats, scrubs, tennis shoes, etc.).
  *   Please note: the lecture hall temperature fluctuates frequently, so please dress in layers and bring a sweater or jacket as it can be chilly!
  *   We will be providing lunch for you on Wednesday and Thursday of Orientation. On Wednesday, all students will have lunch with their faculty advisor. We will have vegan/vegetarian options available as well.
  *   Please bring your CUSOM laptop with you on all days of Orientation.
  *   On Thursday after lunch, we will have locker assignments. **PLEASE BRING EITHER A COMBINATION OR KEY LOCK with you on Thursday. If you bring a key lock, be sure you have an extra key to give to Student Affairs to keep on file.

Updated Emergency Contact Information - MANDATORY

  *   Once you have secured LOCAL housing, please fill out the following Wufoo survey so we can keep track of your contact information. This information is MANDATORY and is collected from students at the beginning of each academic year. We will also use this information to register all of our students for national SOMA membership and will be following up individually until each student has completed the survey.
  *   Emergency Contact Wufoo:

https://cuweb.wufoo.com/forms/ms1-updated-contact-information-class-of-2028/

  *   This survey is due MONDAY, July 29th. No need to resubmit if you have already filled it out.

Campbell Emergency Alert System

  *   If you have not already done so, please sign up with your mobile phone number so you can be alerted about weather delays or any other campus-related emergency.
  *   https://campbell.omnilert.net/subscriber.php

Parking Registration

  *   All students must renew their parking permit each year (as they expire every August).
  *   The enrollment portal for MS-1 commuting students opens on Monday, July 22nd .
  *   To register your vehicle, please visit: https://www.campbell.edu/campus-safety/parking/vehicle-bicycle-registration/ and click on “Register your vehicle or bicycle”.
  *   Please see the attached document for additional parking information.
  *   Parking registration is FREE for CUSOM students.
  *   If you register your vehicle before the portal closes on Monday, July 29th at 11am, your parking pass will be available to pick up on our “Pick Up Day” – Tuesday, July 30th.
  *   If you miss the registration window, you will need to wait until the portal reopens on Monday, August 5th, and you may pick up your parking permit at main campus safety during the first week of class.
  *   Parking citations will begin August 21st, so be sure to complete the online registration and put your parking sticker on your vehicle!
  *   If you have any questions regarding your parking permit, please reach out to parking at campbell.edu<mailto:parking at campbell.edu> or Ms. Lori Gregg, email: lgregg at campbell.edu<mailto:lgregg at campbell.edu>.

Student ID

  *   You should have already received an email (in your Campbell inbox) from “Campbell University Online Photo Submission” which gave you some instructions and a link to submit your photo online for your student ID.
  *   If you have not already done so, please follow the instructions in that email and upload your photo for your Student ID. This is due by Friday, July 19th. After July 19th, you may try to submit your photo, but there is no guarantee that it will be completed by Orientation.
  *   If your photo is NOT received by the July 19th deadline and/or it is not available for pick up at Orientation, you will need to notify Student Affairs so we can have your photo submission email resent to your Campbell email. Once your uploaded photo is received and the ID card is created, you will pick up your student ID in the Bryan Hall Lounge on main campus.

Book List

  *   Please do not purchase anything until after Orientation so you can determine what is available to you at CUSOM first.

Clinical Skills Equipment

  *   You have already received an email with information on clinical skills equipment.
  *   You DO NOT need to purchase anything yet. The Steele’s group order deadline is not until the end of August, so you will have time to decide what to purchase and plenty of reminders from SOMA.
  *   The only item you DO need to purchase for the first week of class is your short, white consultation lab coat (this may be purchased on Amazon).
  *   Although scrubs for Anatomy Lab are NOT required, some students do like to wear them. You may purchase any scrubs / any color you like if desired, but closed-toe shoes and pants are required.

Accommodations

The CUSOM Office of Student Affairs collaborates with the Campbell Department of Disability Services to assist students in the academic accommodations process. We want to be sure these accommodations are in place by the start of classes on August 5th (so that’s one less thing to think about as you start medical school)!
If you have a diagnosed health condition or learning disability and would like to request accommodations in medical school, please schedule an appointment (in person, on the phone, or via Zoom) with Ms. Laura Rich, our Dean for Student Well-Being, at the following link. You will need to forward documentation to Ms. Rich before your meeting so your specific situation can be verified and reviewed.

If you have more detailed questions regarding this process, please contact  disabilityservices at campbell.edu<mailto:disabilityservices at campbell.edu> or call (910) 893-7514.

Big Brother / Big Sister Program

  *   You will each be assigned a big brother or big sister in the MS-2 Class of 2027. They may be reaching out to you to welcome you to CUSOM!
  *   We will provide your big brother/big sister list in your Orientation folder so you can connect with them.

OK, that’s it for now! ☺ See you all SOON!

Blessings,

Debi
