March Calendar

We can't believe it's already March! While it may have been a tough year, we're all doing our best to march on.

Check out our March calendar full of events for you to take advantage of if you have the energy. Rest comes in many forms — not just sleep. You can lie down and be unproductive or attend an event on a topic you're interested in. Whatever it is, honor where you're at and take a break.

Nutrition Outreach Worker (NOW) - Positions Will Be Posted Soon
  • "Being a NOW has by far been the most rewarding experience I've had during my time at UC Berkeley. Not only have I been able to learn a tremendous amount myself, both from my peers and the sensational team of dietitians at UHS, but I have also relished the opportunity to interact with so many niches of students at UC Berkeley and share in the common experience of food that we all can relate to and which we all love. " -Anisha, NOW

Michael Snider, Urgent Care MA, has held many different roles at UHS (and beyond) since March of 2020. In addition to working per-diem at Tang, Michael also works as an EMT at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) catching students up on their routine vaccinations and supporting the nursing staff. He’s also part of CCSF’s Return to Campus workgroup where he reviews departmental procedures to ensure protocols are being followed. Michael also makes time to volunteer at the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank (as needs have greatly increased) and assist the city of San Francisco with as-needed volunteer contact tracing. 

In his COVID Staff Highlight, Michael shares his thoughts on dealing with change, the unique impact COVID has had on college campuses and the importance of supporting mental health, how the pandemic has inspired him to take on some healthier habits, and much more.
Small steps every day will add up.
Good luck on midterms, Bears!
