Borrowing Outreach Materials

From 2021-2024, a generous HRSA grant allowed for the purchase of many resources; among them, outreach materials for the Office of Access and Community Engagement to reach K-12 students and inspire them to pursue careers in STEM and Healthcare.  

These materials include scientific lab equipment for more advanced students, as well as elementary-level experiment kits using conventional, everyday items. All activities are developed with the goal of hands-on, kinesthetic learning and creativity.  

Faculty and staff in the College of Medicine can request to check out these materials for outreach events. Campus partners from outside the College of Medicine may also request to check out materials; these requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with priority given to College of Medicine requests.
