CHEPS 2020
It’s always exciting kicking off a new year in CHEPS. On Friday, January 17th we held our winter kick-off meeting where new and returning CHEPSters had a chance to connect. CHEPS staff and faculty presented the important rules and procedures necessary for work at CHEPS and in a hospital environment. As an ice breaker, each CHEPSter shared one boring fact about themselves ranging from how they liked their oatmeal to the preferred order of activities when brushing their teeth. It was a fun way to get to know a little bit about one another!
To start off 2020, students, faculty, and staff also shared their 2019 wins as well as hopes and goals for the coming year. These are all posted on a wall in CHEPS to remind us of our accomplishments and goals and we’re sharing some of our favorites below. We’d love to hear your proud moments from 2019 and anticipated moments or resolutions for 2020. You can Tweet them to us at @UofMCHEPS with hashtag #CHEPS2020.
