Looking for something to occupy you and the kids this summer? Maybe you’d like to be involved in the community … maybe you’d like to see the kids do more than lay around the house or lounge in the pool … maybe you’re looking for quality family time. Whatever your reason, consider volunteering. United Way of the Plains published a summer volunteer guide to help find that perfect pastime. Here are some of our favorites. American Red Cross-Central Plains Blood Region is looking for donor escorts, receptionists, and people to staff the refreshment table at blood drives. Dates and times vary. Minimum age is 15. Contact Vonna Peerson at 268-0812 or [email protected]. American Red Cross-Midway Kansas Chapter is hosting the Ride for the Red motorcycle poker run Saturday, June 29, and needs lots of help in various roles. All volunteers receive breakfast, lunch, and a T-shirt. Shifts are available from 5:30 a.m. for early birds until 5 p.m. for those who like to catch extra ZZZs. To volunteer alone you must be 16, but children age eight and older can volunteer with an adult. Contact Sheri Barnes at 219-4058 or [email protected]. Botanica could use summer butterfly hosts to show visitors the Butterfly House, garden greeters in the Downing Children’s Garden, and train operators for the G-scale model trains. Don’t all of these sound like fun jobs? Minimum age 16 unless with a parent. Contact Jodi McArthur at 267-0448, ext. 103, or [email protected]. You can’t beat the excitement of Exploration Place, and this summer they need a slew of volunteers for exciting
jobs assisting in the movie dome, the Explore Store, and the mini golf course. Also needed are science demonstrators, ticket takers, photographers, and game room helpers. The minimum age for most positions is 14. Contact Carrie Heiman at 660-0677 or [email protected] for more info. B-I-N-G-O … Bingo was the game, oh. Kansas Braille Transcription Institute needs volunteers to drive participants to Braille and large print bingo for the visually impaired. Compensation is provided for gas and/or mileage. Also needed are on-site volunteers to assist with the cards. Contact Misha or Carma at 265-9692 or [email protected] to sign up. For a full list of summer volunteer opportunities, peruse the entire volunteer guide or call the United Way Volunteer Center at 267-0202. And don’t forget to log your hours for Community Connection via the online submission form.
KUSM–W welcomed Paul Callaway, M.D., FAAFP, as associate dean for Graduate Medical Education and designated institutional official at a reception June 11. Also recognized were Dr. Callaway’s years of service as program director of the Family & Community Medicine residency program at Wesley Medical Center.

It’s that time of year to welcome new students on campus and we also have a large number of new employees right now. An overview of security practices might help them adjust. Access to campus Most students and employees are issued an access card to the building (and areas within the building) as needed. All employees and students have access to the campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the
main entrance and the West Atrium entrance. These doors are also unlocked from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays for public access. The Courtyard door and the Bookstore entrance are also unlocked during these hours. Students also have access to the Student Center 24/7 through both the door from the visitor parking lot and the hallway door across from the Meadowlark Room. Access through the dock door and the water tower door is 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday (except state holidays). Employees working in the PMPH area have access to that area through the northwest door (Door Q) during these same hours. Employees can use their access card to enter through this door after 6 a.m. Monday through Friday (except state holidays) Your access card is your key to the campus. It is important that you do not lose your card or loan it out to anyone. Also, do not attach décor to your card as it may cause the card to malfunction. Photo ID cards All students and employees are required to wear their campus issued photo identification card when on campus. We are currently transitioning to a single use card (identification/access). Beginning July 1, security officers will begin taking photos and printing the ID cards. This will enable you to get your photo taken and have the card in your hand before you leave the office. If you need to have a photo taken or get a new card please call security at 293-2662. Parking on campus Students and employees must have a permit to park on campus during business hours. The south lot (by the Main Entrance and the Student Center) is reserved for visitors during business hours. You can obtain your parking permit from Facilities Management, located in room B050 in the basement of the main building, or get more information by calling 293-2625. Security on campus Always be aware of what is going on around you and take precautions to avoid being a victim of crime. Park in well-lit areas, lock your car, and keep valuables out of sight. Never leave personal property unattended. When on campus (especially at night and on weekends) do not let anyone you don’t know into the building. Enjoy your time at KUSM–W and help us keep you and the entire campus safe. If you need assistance from security, please call 293-2662. We’re here to help.
