Chancellor COVID-19 Update
ASG Elections Feb. 21st—Please be sure to get an ASG application in to Nakia
before the deadline if you’re interested (the officer job duties are listed below, and reps have been emailed)
Let emphasize the way the app flow is supposed to work (reps send events to officers to post, and officer forward to Nakia or Clay)
Give committee update (2 committees not meeting, see below) and let Professional Oath Committee know Dr. Gittens and Dr. Milner will meet with them when we dismiss.

Chancellor Cam Patterson and Vice Chancellor Stephanie Gardner COVID-19 Update (review the highlighted areas and Dr. Sterba will chime in as well, see below) COVID-19 positive cases in Arkansas has steadily increased over the past two weeks. We have also seen an increase in the number of quarantined (and COVID positive) members of Team UAMS.
At the start of 2022 Dr. Gardner notified students 1/1/22 of the move to remote delivery of didactic coursework until Jan. 18. Admin will reassess as we get closer to mid-month, and hopefully will be able to return to campus for all activities. Please meet remotely whenever possible.
Your mask should be close fitting, covering the nose and mouth. If you’re not wearing an N95, be sure to wear a cloth mask over the regular mask as advised. Clinical and experiential activities for students will continue as usual unless notified otherwise by your faculty/dean.
Our library and study spaces on campus will remain open to students.
It is critical that you wear a facemask at all times over your mouth and nose while on campus. Omicron is much more easily transmissible.
Many of the exposures seen are happening when staff and students are congregating together for meals or break times while not wearing masks.
If eating and drinking, please remove the facemask for that period only and ensure that you are appropriately distanced from others.
UAMS is temporarily closing the UAMS Fitness Center as well as the hospital and Cancer Institute Gift Shops. Fitness Center members will not be charged membership fees for the month of January. We are also removing tables and chairs from UAMS eateries to encourage everyone to take their food back to their desks to eat. Please be careful to protect yourself and help protect those on our campus who are most vulnerable.
Thanks to the deployment of 12 National Guard members to UAMS, we are expanding drive-thru COVID-19 testing hours on our Little Rock campus to 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week. We are extremely fortunate to have the assistance of the Guard.
Governor Hutchinson joined me today at our drive-thru triage-testing center to express our great thanks for their service.
Read the campus announcements for updates.
Clay Tyler Student Center Manager
Clay Tyler is the new Student Center Manager. Clay took the place of Vanessa Lewis and will be in charge of registered student organizations, intramurals, student center events and activities.
Mande Corbett Stocked and Reddie Update
The pantry is open Mondays 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Thursdays noon to 6:00 p.m. You must be an ACH employee or UAMS employee, student, resident, or intern to join Stocked & Reddie, but that is the only requirement. Mande also mention students can still volunteer at this time and gave a virtual tour of the facility.
Odette Woods DDEI Event Updates
Odette discussed the upcoming Martin Luther King virtual celebration and Veteran virtual webinar events. See attached flyers.
Janice Nottenkamper Student Financial Services
Ms. Nottenkamper gave an update on tuition and fees, book vouchers, budget sessions, etc.
Nakia Dedner Koru Mindfulness Classes
Upcoming Virtual Events
The Koru Mindfulness course includes a 75 minute group session each week for 4 weeks with a class size of up to 15 students. During each session, participants are taught Mindfulness skills,
and participate in group discussions. Participants are expected to practice Mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes a day. Koru Mindfulness also has a free app that can be downloaded to register for a course, communicate with the instructor, and also use it to practice Mindfulness
skills. At the completion of the Course, you will get a more in depth knowledge of Mindfulness – learn Mindfulness skills, and more importantly be able to practice and apply Mindfulness in your daily life.
All Classes will be held via ZOOM. The instructor will send the Zoom link to registered participants before the start of the course.

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.
