Widener University Commonwealth Law School is launching a professional closet, a donation-based initiative providing free professional attire to law students. The initiative was launched by students involved in Phi Alpha Delta. The students realized other schools had professional closets, and it was something they needed too. So students reached out to the Dean of Career Advising to get it started. “She was very gracious that we were going to actually put it into form. So she advised us, you know, start reaching out to maybe like other, you know, the local bar association and just other outlets that maybe we can get donations from to go beyond just Weidner itself. So we took it from there and it's been really exciting to see it, you know, now coming to the ribbon cutting and kind of how it's built the community, “said Kira Meager, student at Widener university Commonwealth Law School. This initiative is especially significant as 90% of our 2024 entering class are first-generation law school students, and 32% are first-generation college graduates. With 170 incoming students, this resource will ensure that students have access to the professional attire they need for interviews, external external events, and networking events. “You know, when we initially came up with this idea, I mean, we kind of understood that so many of our professors make it clear that professional attire is a requirement of the profession. Whether you're in a courtroom, you're in an office. When you're whether you're arbitrating, I mean, a lawyer has to represent this kind of like position of being official and representing the law and in a respectful manner. And I think when it came to us with this idea, you just said, you know, not everybody has the means off the bat to have like a suit or a nice dress for these kind of things. But everyone is capable of it if they're given those tools. That's what we can provide. The students of the Commonwealth that don't have that, “said McFadden. Donations of gently used professional clothing can be dropped off at the Student Organization Building on-campus or at the Dauphin County Bar Association located at 213 N. Front Street, Harrisburg, PA between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the second in our series of failure storytelling this season. And it's got some incredible scope to it. Today's storyteller not only tells his failure stories as needed, he has a published a short autobiography that unflinchingly describes the very difficult first half of his life.Hameen Shabazz, in our Academic and Career Advising unit, endured a turbulent and violent childhood. The public school system taught him little in the way of reading, writing and arithmetic and his failures in school gave way to great success selling illegal drugs. But that success was finite, when he was arrested, convicted and served thirteen years in the South Carolina correctional system. After that time, in the hard years of trying to make a fresh start, he found his way to MTC and those early academic failures began to change thanks to all that he learned in prison. Not just basic literacy but also the skills of resilience, dignity and patience.So instead of a capsule failure story, today we're going to talk about the academic failures of a lifetime. And you'll understand that to hear these stories is never to dwell in failure but to always return a deep well of determination and self-reflection and recovery. For our guest today, there is no final failure, only delay. There is no loss that cannot be answered in time, with patience and the support of others and the willingness to try again and to try another way. Today, we talk with a failure practitioner who has clearly transformed those failures into a meaningful and successful life.

This story begins with a paradigm shift.In 2019, the college moved from department-based advising to centralized Advising. This shift removed formal advising as a faculty duty and placed it in the hands of dedicated advisors. Further, these advisers would be imbedded in each School of the college, learning as much as they can about those pathways so they can be as helpful to students as possible. This was a massive shift in process for the college and, in some places, remains hazy and unclear. True to our study of the ecology of instruction here at the college, we delve into this biome. This episode begins at the roots of the project in 2019 and then follows it up through it growth and out into two of branches: the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Skilled Trades and the School of Health Care. We travel to the fruit of those branches: students. And we end with the newest growth: the new director of Academic and Career Advising who will help us look ahead together from her perspective. Listen for a chance to uncover the working of this extensive and extending set of connections at the college.

Discover the unique Temple Katz SOM program [Show Summary] The Temple Katz School of Medicine distinguishes itself with two campuses, a Narrative Medicine Program, and deep ties to the local community. In this interview, Jacob Ufberg, Associate Dean of Admissions, shares everything applicants need to know to get accepted to Temple Katz. Interview with Temple Katz School of Medicine Admissions Dean, Dr. Jacob W. Ufberg [Show Notes] Welcome to the 476th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for tuning in. The medical school application process is complex. Think of it like a structure that you're building with many elements and floors. Like any building, it requires a strong foundation. Accepted's free four-part video course, which takes less than half an hour to complete, lays out the foundation of an outstanding medical school application. Watch it today at medschoolessentials.com. Our special guest today is Dr. Jacob Ufberg, Associate Dean for Admissions at Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine and Director of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program. He completed his bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, then he earned his MD at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine and did his residency in Emergency Medicine at The Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He returned to Temple University's Katz School of Medicine after completing his residency and has since become Associate Dean of Admissions, Interim Assistant Dean of Career Advising, a Professor of Emergency Medicine, and an Emergency Medicine Residency Program Director. I'd say he's a little bit busy. Can you give us an overview of Temple Katz's approach to medical education, focusing on its more distinctive aspects? [1:58] At Temple, we teach our clinical medicine and basic science interwoven together with our clinical faculty and basic science faculty integrated together into our pre-clerkship curriculum over the first year and three quarters. That can provide some clinical perspective for the basic science that the students are learning. We do a good deal of small group and case-based learning, and we have a strong focus on integrating the learning of safety, quality, social and structural determinants of health, disparities in health, and medical ethics. We have a wonderful simulation center here. We use simulation and standardized patients quite a bit in the pre-clerkship years for clinical correlation. We have a curriculum that allows for a lot of early and frequent clinical experience. We have two campuses, one here in North Philadelphia and one in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at the St. Luke's University Health System. They both provide really wonderful clinical learning opportunities for the students. One of the great things is that the students have an opportunity to cross over from one campus to the other for some of their clinical learning opportunities over the years. Is there a different focus between the two different campuses? [3:37] I wouldn't say that there's a different focus. We are very well-aligned in how we teach, what we teach, and the experiences that the students have. There is a size difference. The campus here in North Philadelphia has 180 students per year and there are 40 students per year at the St. Luke's campus. Each offers unique benefits. The students up here love the urban setting. The students down on the St. Luke's campus love living at a slightly more relaxed space. They have a smaller learning group that provides the opportunity to really mesh together, grow together over the years. Can you describe the Narrative Medicine Program? Is that for all students or is it an elective? [5:36] Any student has an opportunity to participate in the Narrative Medicine Program. Narrative medicine is kind of a newer thing, and it really lives at the intersection of science and medicine and the humanities. It's about storytelling. It's listening to patients and their families,

Hey! Here's the second repeat guest in the history of my show - not counting like panels and stuff. And I'm glad it's Jeff because he's just one of my favorite people in the world. Remember, I'm a "Recovering Campus Housing Professional," and spent about 20 years living in and managing college residence halls. Jeff was one of my staff members at my very last housing job and was part of what I consider to be my BEST, STRONGEST, and MOST FUN professional staff EVER. I loved each and every one of these amazing people. Fast Forward 7 years later, I'm still working at my post-housing gig which is a HUGE deal for me, and Jeff is a Career Advisor at Chico State University. That's right, I'm still on this Careers-During-Covid-19 thing, but hey - it's absolutely just messing up people's careers right now and I feel the need to talk about it. I think there are definitely things we could all be doing to help people get back to work, and I'm so grateful that Jeff is out there spreading the word. In this episode we talk about the positive soft skills that students (well, anyone for that matter) need to get into the workforce. Jeff shares his theory about how students can get connected into a job right out of college. And he offers three suggestions on how people can keep their heads up high during this time of uncertainty. Now we just need to get Mark Brice and Shawn Brackett on this show, too!
