Day Late Minutes

Food Recovery Heroes, a Pitt group fighting food waste and hunger, is looking to coordinate biking volunteers to transport day-old bagels from Bruegger's Bagels on Forbes to the South Oakland food pantry. It is a short, 1 mile ride and a small bike cargo trailer will be provided to transport the bagels. Biking drop-offs will start tentatively Wed, April 13, and will run W/Th/Fr mornings at 8:30AM. Drop offs will continue throughout the summer. You can sign up on the excel sheet below or contact Jessica Schatz at jms455@pitt.edu if you are interested!

Nothing to do this summer? Do you love the outdoors, the mountains, the prairie and the American West?  Do you still need to complete a field course? Then you should consider the Wyoming or Yellowstone field courses offered through the honors college! They are open to all majors and the only requirement is a 3.0 GPA. The courses are 6 and 4 weeks respectively offered each summer and count for credit. More information is provided in the links below.

If you're interested please contact Ed McCord of the Honors College at emccord@pitt.edu there are still spots left for this summer!

 

Ever wonder what happens if you're outside the "golden hour" of medical care, where you won't have access to definitive medical care for hours or even longer? If you would like to learn how to take care of and treat people in these situations the Wilderness Medical Society is organizing a Wilderness First Aid Course by the CDS Outdoor School. This course covers how to initially assess patients, provide wound care, splint, and treat environmental, orthopedic, or insect/animal bite injuries you may come across if you're in the wilderness or remote locations. There will be plenty of hands-on training allowing you to practice the skills you learn. This course is great for anyone that hikes, kayaks, rock climbs, etc. or anyone who is interested in emergency medicine or trauma. After completing the course you'll also get an official Wilderness First Aid certification (For more info click here). The cost for course registration will be subsidized by the WMS and the final price depends upon how many people are interested (don't worry it will be student affordable). We are thinking of having the course over the weekend of April 9th and 10th. If you're at all interested in joining the course or if it's possible you'll attend please fill out the form below.

The Closing of the Semester

By
Hello all you beautiful people!! I am completely floored that it is already April 17th, we will not have a GBM tomorrow as we simply have no more information to impart! It has been an absolutely amazing semester and year! Two years back from the covid desolation, and I would hazard to say that you can't even tell. This year went by so much smoother, we had a better idea of what we were doing and the dozens of officers that joined our ranks made the process so much easier to manage. Thank you to all the officers who assisted in making this year the amazing success that it was. That being said, we do not have this club without all you beautiful people who show up to celebrate the amazing outdoors, so truly I say thank you to you guys as well. We have yet to decide if we're doing a senior send-off or something for the officers that our leaving us, I cannot say for sure what that will look like, but I'm sure I'll have a part to play in that. However, in the off chance that
