In no time at all, spring will be sprung. And everyone here in tornado alley knows what that means. Time to brush up on our severe weather preparedness. KU School of Medicine-Wichita will do just that by participating in the statewide tornado drill at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 7. A tornado drill announcement will be made over the public address system and the RAVE alert system will be activated. Our goal is for everyone to be in their designated area of the tornado shelter within three minutes of the announcement. Department floor monitors will be wearing orange vests and assisting with the drill and making sure everyone on campus is accounted for. Once accountability is complete, an all-clear message will be communicated releasing everyone back to work areas and classrooms. This is also a good time to practice an at-home preparedness plan and restock your disaster supply kit. Check out https://www.ready.gov/build-a-kit for more information on putting together a personal disaster supply kit. Since we’re all in Kansas, it’s likely we know most everything there is to know about tornadoes … or at least think we do. But, if you’re new to the area or just

want a refresher, check out the National Weather Service’s tornado awareness site. If you have any questions about safety procedures here on campus, contact Julie Stimson, emergency and safety manager at [email protected] or 293-3409. As always, safety first!

Is there a special event happening in your department? Do you know a student who has an interesting hobby, or who has made a significant accomplishment? Are you involved in community outreach? An educational program? A hands-on workshop or training session? Public affairs wants to know about any and all of these events. There are a variety of ways we can publicize events and accomplishments in the school, but we can’t promote them if we don’t know they’re happening. Though not every event is going to catch the attention of the media, we can still promote your event through one of our social media accounts, our monthly community newsletter, or by writing our own feature story for the school’s website. Keep us informed. Drop us an email and tell us what’s happening. We’ll share the good news.

Public affairs offers a variety of items to support your department events. Do you need a logo banner to showcase at your fair booth? We have a few. Are you serving cold drinks at an event and want something sleeker than a cooler? You can borrow one of our stainless steel beverage tubs. Are you looking for a way for people to take notice? No one can ignore a 6’ inflatable Jayhawk. Visit our website to check out photos of available items and fill out an event support request form to reserve what you need. You can also request an appearance by our energetic and fun Baby Jay. Loved by adults and kids alike, Baby Jay will kick your event up a notch. All Baby Jay appearances must have a direct connection to KUSM-W.

If you’re involved in a study that is recruiting subjects and would like to have our support in creating recruitment materials, submit a request using our online form. You can request fliers, ads, Jayhawk Talk Online listings, broadcast emails, and more. Once we draft the copy, we’ll send it back to you for IRB approval.

Women’s History Month in the United States grew out of a week-long celebration of women’s contributions to culture, history, and society organized by the school district of Sonoma, California, in 1978. Presentations were given at dozens of schools, hundreds of students participated in a “Real Woman” essay contest and a parade was held in downtown Santa Rosa. A few years later, the idea had caught on within communities, school districts, and organizations across the country. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. Congress followed suit the next year, passing a resolution establishing a national celebration. Six years later, the National Women’s History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the event to the entire month of March (History.com). Check out these local events celebrating Women’s History Month.

St. Patrick’s Day gets all the attention, but since 1991 all 31 days of March have been proclaimed Irish-American Heritage Month. More than two centuries ago, our founders envisioned a new nation, a land free from tyranny and filled with opportunity, prosperity, and liberty for all. Many Irish people, faced with severe hardship in their homeland, embraced the dream of a more promising future and left behind Ireland's shores, their families, and their friends for a new beginning in America. Each year during the month of March, we celebrate these courageous men and women of Ireland and remember with pride their many contributions to our nation (Proclamation, 2000).
