School of Medicine seeks classes and events for Welcome Week video
The School of Medicine seeks classes, activities and events to cover during Welcome Week. University Relations is compiling video footage from Welcome Week for an upcoming social media video. School of Medicine faculty who are willing to have their classrooms filmed during the first week of classes are encouraged to submit the class name, time, and day to schoolofmedicine@hsc.wvu.edu to be added to the list of potential film opportunities. The commitment is small. One to two camera people will join your class and film for a few minutes to capture our student’s engaged and learning. For questions, contact Nikki Gannon, School of Medicine marketing assistant, at Nicole.Gannon@wvumedicine.org.
