Tree of Lights: It could be the final year to enjoy the holiday lights on the roof of the Laurel Heights campus - an annual tradition that dates back to at least the 1960’s. The 40-foot tree has 36 strands of lights with 32 bulbs each that lights up the San Francisco sky during the holidays.

“The students held a mirror up to us and said, ‘You have to do more than pronounce that you believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion – you actually have to do the hard work to unravel the consequences of structural racism in our society,’” says Catherine Lucey, @ucsfmed’s vice dean for Medical Education and executive vice dean.
.
Five years ago, UCSF students held a rally on the Parnassus campus to raise awareness of health care disparities, structural racism, and police violence. Since then, #WhiteCoats4BlackLives has sparked a national movement.
.
“In my 30-year career, I can’t think of a more impactful event than the White Coats for Black Lives die-in and the work that came subsequently,” Lucey says.

40% of students UC-wide report going hungry or skipping meals due to lack of funds.
.
To combat this, the UCSF Basic Needs & Food Security for Students team has implemented a variety of programs, from a food market with free fresh produce, an app that shows when catered leftovers are available on campus to an Instant Pot cooking class that teaches how to create inexpensive meals.
.
This Thanksgiving, we are grateful to be able to empower our students to nourish their minds and bodies so they can focus on becoming the next generation of health leaders.

Students from @ucsfnurse are building a new elective - Street Nursing. Their objective is simple: To use their expertise to help people experiencing homelessness on the streets of San Francisco.
.
In the meantime, you can find them every Tuesday morning near the SF Public Library with their medical supplies in tow, doing what they do best - provide nursing advice or just lending a compassionate ear.

Thanks @victoriakcheung for reminding us to take a break and step outside once in a while.
