Hi miRcore Vaccine Advocates!I hope you are all doing well! I have an important announcement –and ask– for you all.The miRcore Vaccine Advocacy program (or MVA), is launching its first in-person training event, on Saturday, May 14th from 11 am to 2 pm, EST. We’ve worked very hard to put this plan into action at MVA, and would greatly appreciate your help in advertising it 🙂
First, here are some basic details about the event. The conference will take place at the DOW Engineering Building (2300 Hayward St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109), in Room 1013. We have invited a guest speaker, Dr. Abram Wagner to give a talk about his work on vaccine hesitancy. There is a $10 fee for each attendee, but there are options if this fee is . Here is the conference registration link. I’ve attached an agenda of the event below for your reference.
10:45-11:00 am EST
Arrival and sign-in at DOW Engineering Building (2300 Hayward St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109) Room 1013
11:00-12:00 am EST
Training session 1
12:00-1:00 pm EST
Dr. Abram Wagner’s talk, student panel, and catered lunch outside
1:00 – 2:00 pm EST
Training session 2
This event is coming up quite soon, so we’ll need as much help as we can get to advertise in order for our turnout to be optimal. I’ve attached a flyer to this email, so if you all could print these and distribute them around your schools that would be great! Additionally, there is a .png file that you can use to upload to whatever social media platforms you/your GIDAS club uses most frequently. If your school has an announcement system, please send them this message to broadcast.Finally, here is the link to an email blurb that you can send directly to your teachers or school administrators to distribute.It’s vital that we advertise this event properly, as it will pave the way for future in-person training conferences hosted by MVA. Again, here is the link for conference registration.*IMPORTANT NOTE* If your school is not in the Michigan area, you still can attend the event online! Sign up and a Zoom link will be emailed to you for the conference.Please reach out with any further questions — and yes, if you’ve been trained, you can come again! 🙂
Best,Caleigh
