UT Health Science Center Campus Police are diligent in their efforts to keep our students, staff, and faculty safe from the dangers of distracted drivers. Campus Police has joined with other national and local law enforcement agencies with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) high-visibility enforcement effort, April 1-8, 2024. Law enforcement officers nationwide will work together to enforce texting and distracted-driving laws. During this campaign, Campus Police Officers will be visible in their task to observe, educate and enforce distracted driver violations.
Attendees will get a historical overview of women’s treatment in healthcare as well as experiences in healthcare education and as providers, followed by a participatory discussion of these topics. Boxed lunch will be provided for the first 50 in-person attendees.

Come Volunteer with your fellow UTHSC friends at the Midsouth Food Bank on two more dates, including April 17th and April 24th. We will be volunteering from 1:00pm-3:00pm and transportation will be provided. Follow the link below to register today. Volunteers will work in our Volunteer HUB on different tasks, as needed. Our most common task will be sorting through donated food, checking for package quality, and ensuring the product is “in date”. Volunteers will then sort the product into different categories, then box and pallet those categories. https://uthsc.givepulse.com/event/432747-midsouth-foodbank-volunteer-opportunity
