Committee Break-out Session
Professional Oath Committee (see 10/29 email)
Dr. Guitry-Grimes is out today
Community Service Committee
We will create a doodle poll to assess date availability among ASG reps for
volunteering at the AR food bank early spring
Continue to increase activity at stocked and Reddie
No updates on possible habitat for humanity involvement in the spring.
Virtual Events/App Committee
How should we standardize app posting submissions? Farhan is going to draft a google form that would allow people to submit things they would like to have posted.
An additional thought, having a “standard” email set up for people to submit app postings…something like AppPosting@uams.edu that would allow all of us to log in to and allow us one place to find all of the requests rather than having them spread out amongst the different reps.
Jeff mentioned incorporating an interactive virtual campus map.
Student resources link to different clinic options available for students (Speech
path/hearing clinic available to students at reduced charge/ there maybe an
opportunity for ASG to visit the dental hygiene clinic for a teeth cleaning for free as well?)
Interim COVID Event Policy Updated (article was forwarded to ASG) By News Staff
Nov. 4, 2021 | UAMS has updated the special events policy regarding all UAMS affiliated events on and off campus. Please see the new policy below or on the Special Events Request Form. If you have any questions regarding events please email events@uams.edu.
Due to the pandemic the events policy is evolving to reflect how we, as a healthcare institution, are operating at this time. It is important that our UAMS events and activities set a good example to the public, so please consider the following when planning your event.
Inside Events, whether on or off campus:
The “in-person” audience is limited to UAMS staff and students but exceptions can be made and are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Face masks must be worn at all times except when eating.
We are currently operating at 100% capacity at on-campus venues except when food is served.
If food is to be served, you need to book a location that accommodates 3 feet of social distancing per person. Meaning if food is served your room/venue capacity should not exceed 50% of the total capacity to allow for social distancing while masks are off. ReserveRoom@uams.edu can help you find a space that is accommodating for your group on campus.
While eating and masks are off, all attendees must be 3 feet apart.
Refreshments may be served. Please consider grab-and-go options, individually
packaged meals or you may hire internal catering staff to serve the food. If you order external catering, it is recommended to designate several staff members (masked and gloved) to serve food for the duration of the event. Inside events that are at a restaurant or have food for purchase of some kind are also allowed. Hand-sanitizer stations must be available at the entrances to the food service line.
UAMS sponsored meetings and events off campus must follow the same guidelines on food, masking and social distancing unless the event is outside.
Outside Events, Off Campus:
Masks are required for unvaccinated individuals and recommended (but not required) for vaccinated individuals. It is up to each individual to follow masking requirements as vaccination status cannot be assessed.
Masks are still required (regardless of vaccination status) for any indoor components such as bathrooms or other enclosed spaces.
The “in-person” audience is open to the public as well as UAMS staff and students.
Refreshments may be served. Please consider grab-and-go options, individually
packaged meals or you may hire catering staff to serve the food. If you order external catering, it is recommended to designate several staff members (masked and gloved) to serve food for the duration of the event.
Hand-sanitizer stations must be available at the entrances to the food service line.
Outside Events, On Campus:
The “in-person” audience is limited to UAMS staff and students, but exceptions can be made for educational or fundraising purposes and are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Face masks must be worn at all times except when eating.
