Please consider volunteering for an upcoming Poverty Simulation scheduled for Friday, February 23rd.

Help students learn about the challenges people in poverty face in their daily lives. No experience is required, and multiple roles are needed. Learn more and sign up to volunteer here: https://uthsc.givepulse.com/event/432703. (Log in with your UTHSC credentials.) Interested in having your class participate in a poverty simulation? Email Jess Guthrie to learn more about upcoming opportunities!
Come Volunteer with your fellow UTHSC friends at the Midsouth Food Bank on four dates, including, March 20th, March 27th, 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
Be cautious about downloading third-party antivirus applications and software. Many times, when you download a new application, the manufacturer “bundles” other downloads with it. A lot of the time, unless you uncheck some boxes, they automatically download. This disrupts our CarbonBlack and sends alerts for unauthorized software.
Be cautious of downloading ANY software or applications that can harm your device and our network.
