SOCIALS

 

 

LA JOLLA SHORES BONFIRE!!!!

Coordinator: Isadore Tarantino    (izzy@ucsdpass.org)

Friday, March 6th, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Hey fellow PASS members!!! What sounds better than sitting by a nice warm fire, toasting marshmellows for your tasty smores, and snuggling up with your friends at PASS's BONFIRE OF THE QUARTER!!! Come join us down at La Jolla Shores and receive a social point as well!! Carpooling will be available and all help with driving is appreiciated.

 

STUDY CRAM!!!

Coordinator: Isadore Tarantino    (izzy@ucsdpass.org)

Saturday, March 14th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Finals are just a few days from this date and I am giving everyone the opportunity to earn social points for STUDYING!! That’s right, you read it correctly, social points for studying! Come on down to UCSD campus and get your studying on before those darn Finals.  Enjoy a great morning of cramming in those last few hours of reading inside the Biomedical library at UCSD before the big tests.  The great thing about this social is that there will be other PASS members there that I bet are even in those same horrible/dreadful classes that you are taking.  This means that is not only a social but a free group study session if needed.  Feel free to come and study for an hour, grab a bite to eat and head on back to some more terrific studying!

 

 

PROJECTS

 

 

PREUSS TUTORING

Coordinator: Lisa Sugimori    (lsugimor@gmail.com)

Saturday, February 28th, March 14th and 28th, 9:00 am - 11:00 am

The Preuss School, a nationally recognized charter middle and high school located right here at UCSD, is looking for tutors. It's a great and easy way to give back, meet some wonderful and accomplished students and take a break from studying. We have classes
from 6th grade to 12th grade. Preuss is located on the east side of campus, next to Scripps Hospital. You can use the East Parking Shuttle, which will drop you off across the street from Preuss.
Weekday tutoring is possible as well- contact Lisa Sugimori for more information

 

NOTE: Before any tutoring you MUST go to an orientation with Eva Mejia, the volunteer coordinator at Preuss School. All orientations are at the BEGINNING of each quarter- not in the middle or end of the quarter.  There are NO orientations in the middle of the quarter.

 

SPECIAL OLYMPICS POLAR PLUNGE

Coordinator: Teresa Bau    (tbau@ucsd.edu)

Saturday, February 28th, 8:00 am – 11:00 am

This is Special Olympic's annual fundraiser event which is soooooo much fun. Held at Oceanside Pier, this event involves plunging into the Pacific Ocean early in the morning and staying in for as long as you can handle the icy deliciousness! PASS got an award for most plungers last year, so let's see if we can have the biggest team again this year! You don't need to know how to swim....just slightly masochistic enough (which pre-meds are anyway) to tolerate the cold! =)

 

ROOM VISITS

Coordinator: Lindsy Godair    (lgodair@ucsd.edu)

Saturday, February 28th, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Sit and make a new friend by visiting with an elderly member of the classical residence in La Jolla. This project provides the opportunity to spend time with and brighten the day of one of our city's very own pearls of wisdom. Your day may even be brightened!
