RegeneGator Organization

RegeneGator is a new student organization at UF dedicated to connecting students interested in learning more about the use of stem cells and their products with research opportunities in the Center for Regenerative Medicine. Our organization has five pillars: Knowledge, Research, Community, Mentorship, and Outreach. As RegeneGators, we are proud to have Dr. Keith March, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine, assist and support us through these principles. Our purpose is to help students in any way we can by providing each one of our members with the necessary tools for success while fostering a welcoming environment. 

 

Join us for our 3rd GBM on Tuesday, November 1st, from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in MAT0018 (Matherly Hall). We will be finally opening research applications for those interested in interviewing for a research lab assistant position next semester and will be waiting for you with some free food and refreshers!

 

Both E-board and I would love to see you all there! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Caroline De Paula, president of RegeneGator, at caroline.depaula@ufl.edu, or DM us on Instagram (@Regenegator).

Music Meets Medicine 2nd GBM

Are you pre-health and/or have some level of musical talent? 

From singing in the choir or playing some backyard guitar, we appreciate all levels. We have an organization that is PERFECT for you, Music Meets Medicine! This is an inspirational and unique on-campus organization that educates passionate participants on the humanistic benefits of music within healthcare. We offer weekly GBMs, allowing members to get to know each other, learn about the benefits of music in medicine, and without question: We have FUN! Additionally, we offer many leadership opportunities and the benefit of earning clinical volunteering hours. For example, you can enjoy the experience of entertaining patients through musical performances at local facilities (such as Alz Place), an adult Alzheimers facility. 

 

Our second GBM will be on November 2nd - we look forward to seeing you!

Shoes4Smiles Drive!

 Shoes4Smiles has made it easy and convenient to give back to the Gainesville community! 

 

From October 17th to November 18th, we have placed donation bins around campus for anyone to drop off new or gently used shoes! The drop off locations are included in the flier in convenient locations. Additionally, pictures of the exact locations are posted on our Instagram story: @ufshoes4smiles. 

 

Organizations can also get involved by conducting an internal shoe drive with their members. They can collect shoes from their members throughout the month of our shoe drive, and make one large donation on behalf of the organization. This is a great service opportunity and we will give any organizations a big thank you at the end of our shoe drive. We ask any student organizations interested in this opportunity to reach out to us via email at ufshoes4smiles@gmail.com.

 

All shoe donations will be distributed by Shoes4Smiles to children and adults in disadvantaged communities in Gainesville!
