MSUCOM SOMA

Did you know that according to a 2019 study, nearly 2/3 of low-income women in large U.S cities reported not being able to afford menstrual hygiene products?

Our SOMA First Year Liaisons, Sabrina, Maria, Esha, and Yasmin, are currently leading a Feminine Hygiene Drive through this upcoming Friday, 11/4 to help address Period Poverty in temporary housing centers. We are collecting donations of pads, tampons, body wash, and deodorant at drop box locations at each site. Monetary donations will also be accepted through Venmo -SOMA. Donations will benefit the City Rescue Mission of Lansing women’s shelter. Thank you to everyone for your support in this initiative!

Congratulations to October’s Student of the Month, Syed Hussain!

The beginning of medical school can be overwhelming for some students as one adapts to a new routine and new workload. With Syed’s efforts, this change was eased for his fellow classmates in the Class of 2026. From the beginning of semester one, he has shared supplemental study resources to support his classmates while providing extra motivation and accountability. When he is not going the extra mile to support his peers inside the classroom, he is continuing to show up for them outside of the classroom, reaching out to check on others’ wellbeing as a compassionate friend. He has been instrumental to the Class of 2026 in building their COMmunity, especially at the MUC campus. Syed, thank you for exemplifying what it means to be an MSUCOM student, leader, and friend all around!
