Meeting Information
General body meetings are every other Wednesday at 7pm. Executive board meetings are held on the alternating Wednesdays at 7pm. Attendance at Exec Board Meetings is not required, but if you are interested in running for office at the end of the academic year, you need to attend at least 2 of these meetings before elections. If you cannot attend a general body meeting, you can watch the recording on our YouTube channel and send an email to Brinda at raghavan.86@osu.edu to get half a point for attending the meeting. Check out the "Calendar" page for information on our meeting schedule and topics a well as upcoming socials, fundraising, and volunteer events. General Body meetings will be held in person this semester in the Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room in the Ohio Union. Executive Body meetings will be held in the Enarson Classroom Building Room 222. The locations for each meeting can be viewed on the Calendar tab.
Be the Match
Join the Be the Match bone marrow donor registry to potentially save the life of one of thousands of people in the U.S. suffering from blood cancer. Very near and dear to our hearts, our former PVMA Vice President, Sophia Kienzle's, mother received a life-saving bone marrow transplant during her bought with cancer. Medical research shows younger donors are best for patients and provide the greatest chance for transplant success, so 75% of doctors will request bone marrow transplants from donors between the ages of 18-35. We want to encourage our members to join the registry, because your contribution could make all the difference in somebody's fight against cancer!​ To sign up, go to this link.

Status in the club is important for determining awards at the end of the year and eligibility for running for office. Member status is determined by points. An active status is of higher status than good standing.

Each meeting attended is worth one point. Additional points are obtained by participating in other organized events through the club. Such events include: socials, fundraisers, diversity and inclusion meetings, and volunteering. Attending any of these is worth one point. Most volunteering is worth one point per shift. Additional general body meetings past the active member requirement are worth an additional point.
​
Check out the Elections page for more information if you are interested in running for a position!

Check out the Points page to see how many points you have and to determine your standing. If you have any questions about your status in the club, please contact Brinda at raghavan.86@osu.edu.
