What's The Big Event?
The
Big Event is the only student activity that unites all seven Health
Sciences Center colleges in an effort to say “thank you”
to the Oklahoma City metro area. Our goal is to maximize applied learning in service to the HSC community. We will be going out into the
immediate community to help different organizations with health-related tasks like screenings, health eduction, and just sharing our time and knowledge. HSC students, faculty, and staff are excited about
putting their skills to use and invite you to join in our enthusiasm.
Examples of jobsites from past Big Events are:
- Children's Hospital
- Downtown YMCA
- Edwards Redeemer Nursing Center
- Grace Living Center
- Tolliver Alternative Care
- YWCA
On
April 13, 2013, OUHSC students, faculty,
and staff will unite in an unparalleled effort to say thank you
to our community, one that provides constant support to the University
of Oklahoma. The Big Event will impact hundreds of
community organizations throughout the Norman and Oklahoma City
Metro area. As the largest student-run community service effort
in the nation, The Big Event is one-of-a-kind in that it unifies
the campus with the surrounding community in a showing of gratitude
through philanthropy.
When: Saturday,
