Hello Everyone!

Its time for another SIM General Meeting. BUT this time we will be having a guest speaker coming to talk about Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. There is plenty of literature showing that less stressed students perform better, so here is a chance to learn about effective ways to relax in preparation for your exams. There will also be plenty of time to learn more about The Students for Integrative Medicine (SIM) and all that we have to offer in the form of Education, Community Service, and Research. SIM currently has very exciting projects beginning in all of these venues and would benefit from brilliant new minds joining into help. 

The general meeting will be in the Student Center in the Emerald Bay room at 6pm. We look forward to seeing you all there! :)
 
Come learn about all that SIM has to offer including, research, community service, and education! Location to be determined.
 
IM week is almost here!! Next Monday marks the start of the festivities.
