Collegiate Chapter

highlightsIntercollegIate outreach Project 2010-2011The Team HBV Intercollegiate Outreach Project (IOP) was piloted at the 2nd Annual Team HBV Collegiate Conference in Nov. 2010 by Recruitment & Training Adviser Jen Yang and Marketing & Media Adviser Derek Chen. The goal of the IOP is to think outside the box, work beyond individual communities, and brainstorm new ideas for future collaborative projects across all chapters. Project ideas are evaluated based on their impact, feasibility, funding costs, and originality.

This year’s IOP pilot event was the annual Hepatitis B Awareness Week (HBAW) in Spring 2011 and a social media campaign beginning in Fall 2010. Previously, we wanted all chapters to host HBAW during the same week; however, this was not very practical considering every school had a different academic schedule. Above all else, we wanted every chapter to plan the best possible HBAW, so we allowed chapters to host their events any time during the period from mid-April to May, 2011.

Components of the 2010-2011 IOP: * Social Media campaign using a viral video and Tumblr site, expanding use of Facebook promotions.* Each chapter host a 5-day series of outreach events. Their activities each day varied depending on chapter feasibility and funding. The Advisory Board provided a list of successful past events and ideas from the IOP conference presentations. * The intercollegiate aspect during each HBAW was Little People, Big Messages, also an IOP idea.

Viral Video[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79jgcHM1pTs]The purpose was to show the breadth of Team HBV chapters and our solidarity in converging on one intercollegiate event. It was meant to draw attention to the events happening at each chapter, and was not meant to be educational.

Tumblr Site[www.hbaw.tumblr.com]

The Tumblr site was an ongoing platform where we streamed HBAW efforts across all chapters as they happened throughout April and May. Featured posts from each chapter included pictures, flyers, videos, memorable quotes, Little People, Big Messages (see below) and national news.

For the first time, the Tumblr site also featured Team HBV High School Chapters that held their own Hep B Awareness Weeks and received proclamations from their local governments, as well as China’s Sunshine Volunteers (more information below).

Little People, Big Messages (LPBM)

Little People, Big Messages was directly taken from an IOP presentation because it was low-cost and easily replicable. The idea is to create large posters of representatives from different Team HBV chapters wearing

school paraphernalia and holding a poster containing a hepatitis B fact. The Advisory Board collected each chapter’s photo and distributed the collection to chapter e-boards to print on their own. Some chapters opted for smaller posters to save printing costs.

Kate Xie, former Team HBV at Harvard board member, helped extend Little People, Big Messages to China’s Sunshine Volunteers in multiple institutions including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Minzu University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, and Zhejiang University.



Evaluation To access our social media efforts, we used Google Analytics to track direct traffic to the Tumblr site from 4/18/11 to 5/29/11, the total time frame of all chapter HBAW’s, with the following summary results:

HEP B AWARENESS WEEK AT UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND UCSD

7SPRING 2011 |

A post-HBAW survey was sent to all chapters to evaluate the first Team HBV IOP effort. Questions included the IOP activity at the conference (if applicable), planning process at the chapter-level, accessibility of social media platforms, accessibility of Advisory Board.

Survey results reached the following consensus:1) Chapter representatives wanted more time to work on presentations Solution: send out emails to delegates before the conference and upload complete schedule on the internal site

2) HBAW needs better intercollegiate presenceSolution: continue use of Facebook, make new “like” pages, virtual get-togethers, use the IOP to develop a video concept at the collegiate conference, during which we can even create the film to show solidarity.

The Next Steps

In preparation for IOP 2011-2012, we would like to address all the issues that arose during IOP 2010-2011. Some modifications include:

1) Film footages of chapter delegates at the conference to have preliminary clips for easier compilation later2) Narrow the focus at the conference and direct groups to work one particular intercollegiate component that is feasible across all chapters and empower chapters to feel ownership over their ideas3) Continue having the week-long events since it has been such a success at individual chapters this past year but emphasize long-term use of social media for publicity

Our biggest goal for IOP 2011-2012 is expanding to bring national attention to our project, influence policy initiatives, and gain the attention of Washington. Given that Team HBV is still an undergraduate organization, our focus for the IOP continues to emphasize three main points: feasibility, target audience, and implementation. Specific plans for the next term include a two-pronged approach to target politicians at the national level and form local allies to strengthen individual chapter credibility:

1) Local: mobilize other organizations to participate in the IOP/Hep B Awareness Week in the Spring 2) Local: form allies in public health departments, medical schools, and student health clinics 3) Local: aim to host free screenings for at-risk students at campus clinics 4) National: create an “honor roll” of professional supporters 5) National: continually improve internal communication6) National: target Washington politicians, including President Obama

Reflections

During the spring semester, Team HBV at Brown made its presence known on campus by increasing the number of activities and events we created. By having two successful fundraisers, we were able to obtain support for our upcoming initiative to bring free HBV vaccinations and screenings to the Providence community. By targeting distinct sections of the campus, we were able raise funds in an efficient and effective manner. We also gave the student community an opportunity to discuss the HBV epidemic with an expert in the field, Dr. Lynn Taylor, who spoke about her experiences working with patients affected by HBV. Moreover, we shared our message with parents of the Providence community at a high school parent’s night. In the future, we will continue our efforts in expanding our role as a service group on campus and place a greater emphasis in community outreach.

Hepatitis B Awareness WeekFor Hepatitis B Awareness Week this year, we put together a display on the Arts Quad with hepatitis B facts and green ribbon. We also promoted awareness through a Hep B Freeze, ribbon and bookmark, and ninja tattoo giveaways.

Reflections

Our chapter has continued to collaborate with different organizations on campus to promote hepatitis B awareness. Next semester, we hope to plan bigger events on campus that will reach out to not only students and faculty but to local residents and health professionals in the community. We also hope to establish more relations with the community, such as the Ithaca Free Clinic, Cayuga Medical Center and the Cancer Resource Center.

Ongoing Screening InitiativesTeam HBV at Harvard is meeting with Quest Diagnostics to discuss the specifics of the donation agreement which currently connotes the intention to target only Asian-American populations.

We are working on obtaining IRB approval to analyze survey data from Liver Health Program Screenings, and working with Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) to launch a campus screening initiative in the fall. Doctors seem very supportive from our first meeting with the Director of HUHS, Dr. David Rosenthal and colleagues.

Reflections

This past spring, Team HBV at Harvard reinvigorated its community education program while expanding its presence on campus. In an effort to improve membership and participation in Team HBV at Harvard events, we reemphasized our education program at Harvard Chinatown Citizenship classes, ESL classes and after school programs for minority students. We recruited over 30 volunteers, many of whom are now trained to present hepatitis B education in more than one language. These volunteer continue to help with tabling at local community events, and we hope they will reaffirm their membership in the fall. On campus, Team HBV at Harvard hosted its first Hepatitis B Awareness Week in April, organizing a variety of events including a campus center display and an intimate dinner discussion with a local leading hepatologist. This summer, we hope to polish the details on a new campus hepatitis B screening initiative Team HBV will launch in fall 2011 with the support of Harvard University Health Services, and celebrate World Hepatitis Day in Cambridge and Boston.

Listen to the Silence Conference 2011“Listen to the Silence” (also known as LTS) is an annual Asian American issues conference organized by the Asian American Students’ Association (AASA) at Stanford University. This year, Team HBV participated by tabling an information booth, where its members worked hard to educate this year’s participants about hepatitis B awareness. After tabling, members of Team HBV attended a workshop we co-hosted with the Stanford Asian American Graduate Students’ Association (AAGSA) featuring Assemblywoman and Honorary Chair of the San Francisco Hep B Free Campaign, Fiona Ma. She spoke of her experiences in the California State Assembly and how students can play important roles in public service. And to show her support, Fiona Ma sported this year’s Stanford Team HBV shirt during her talk!

Targeted Stanford students (undergraduates and graduates), college students from other Bay Area schools, and high school students from surrounding schools.

2/1/2011-3/1/2011Stanford University

SIP: Screenings Initiative ProgramThe SIP project was to raise awareness about the free hepatitis B screening available to all at-risk Stanford students, and to facilitate the action step of actually taking the online risk assessment and making a screening appointment. SIP ran for the course of a month and was advertised through email list serves, announcements at on-campus events and meetings, and our website. 1 in 10 participants received a $25 gift card, which encouraged students to tell their friends about the program without hurting their own chances. The online SIP entry form also included an educational component and required the student to send in a screenshot of the completed online risk assessment form (which did not show any personal information). Ultimately we had 51 students take the online screening and at least 17 students actually get screened.

5/2/2011 – 5/5/2011Stanford University


Hepatitis B Awareness Week at StanfordStanford’s 2nd Annual HBAW focused on raising awareness within the general student body population about hepatitis B and the free screening offered on-campus. We wanted to inspire students to talk about hepatitis B and bring the health disparity into the general campus discourse. Our HBAW events included a HepB-Swag giveaway day, where we handed out sunglasses that said “HepB Hero” along with short hepB informational fliers, tabling at Stanford’s annual Wellness Fair, hosting a lecture by Dr. So on hepatitis B, giving out jade-frosted cookies and educational fliers in dining halls, and ballooning bikes (with informational postcards attached) across campus.Partners and co-sponsors of Stanford’s HBAW included Vaden Student Health Center, Stanford Premedical Association, the Associated Students of Stanford University, Black Student Union, and Pacific Free Clinic.

Relay for LifeTeam HBV hosted an educational table at Stanford’s Relay for Life event, distributing information about Stanford’s screening program, providing one-on-one health education about hepatitis B and liver cancer, and distributing Jade Ribbon Campaign accessories like tattoos, bracelets and our “HepB Hero” sunglasses. We were able to educate many individuals already passionate about cancer prevention, and received many pledges to share brochures and information with friends and family.The target audience was Relay for Life participants, which spanned from local high school students to Stanford students and staff to community members.

Reflections

Our chapter definitely met our goals for these past two quarters. We organized and hosted over 3 events per quarter, which is a very high frequency and definitely helped to improve recognition of Team HBV and increased education about hepatitis B. We were definitely encountering many students who already had a working knowledge of hepatitis B from previous events, which was very satisfying and showed that our educational efforts are being effective. We also had strong group bonding, with high participation in all events, and with all members playing critical roles in organizing at least one (but generally multiple) event. We are confident that the group will continue to excel in the next year with our new leadership team.

Reflections

This past spring, Team HBV at UC Berkeley focused on creating unity among the members and officers, as well as executing a successful HBAW. With an increased emphasis on bonding and socials, we were able to foster a sense of camaraderie within the club that made working together on projects and events extremely enjoyable. Preparing for HBAW as a club was especially rewarding. Due to concentrated efforts towards HBAW, we were unable to plan for as many events during the early part of the semester as we would have liked. The actual week of HBAW was tiring, but successful. Even though we were unable to pull off a large benefit concert that we had previously hoped to execute, we were able to accomplish the rest of our planned events effectively. There was a lot of turnover with the executive board after this semester’s elections, featuring new co-presidents along with a bevy of young officers. This new executive board will provide fresh ideas and enthusiasm that will help build Team HBV at UC Berkeley into an effective outreach force.

Asian Pacific Culture WeekThe purpose of the Asian Pacific Culture Week was to celebrate the Asian and Pacific cultures. In this event, Team HBV at UC Davis provided information about hepatitis B and its impact on the Asian and Pacific Islander population. In addition, we hosted a plushie night at our table, in which we provide attendees the materials to make a plushie. This event was also used as a promotion for the Hepatitis B Awareness Week where a plushie workshop would be one of the events.Target audience: StudentsNotable student group or community partner(s): The Asian Pacific Culture Week Committee

5/2/11 - 5/4/11UC Davis Memorial Union


HBAW TablingTeam HBV at UC Davis started out the Hepatitis B Awareness Week with tabling. In this event, we talked to students and/or faculties about the hepatitis B virus, how it affects us, and how it leads to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and then ask them to pledge to be “hepatitis B free” and to tell their friends and family about the virus. In addition, we promoted other events for the Hepatitis B Awareness Week.Target audience: Students, FacultyNotable student group or community partner(s): MAPS (Minority Association of Pre-Med Students), CAC (Colleges Against Cancer)

We also passed out jade ribbons to the members of JASS to spread awareness about Hepatitis B.Target audience: JASS MembersNotable student group or community partner(s): JASS (Japanese American Student Society)

Reflections

This quarter, we spent most of our time on planning and preparing for the Hepatitis B Awareness week. We wanted to plan events that were within our budget, and we also contacted some other campus organizations asking for their help and collaboration. During club meetings and our own time, we made poster boards, ribbons, goody bags, prepared fabrics and materials for plushies, and other things that would be used for tabling and for the other upcoming events. For the most part, we felt that the first annual Hepatitis B Awareness Week turned out better than we thought. For tabling, we’ve collected over a hundred signatures with the help of MAPS and CAC. There was also a good number of people who showed up for the plushie workshop. Unfortunately for the movie night, there weren’t as many people as we thought. It seems that most people were expecting the Disney version of Mulan instead. Some improvements for the Hepatitis B Awareness Week can be more creative ideas for events.

In addition, we tried to contact other student organizations about giving a short presentation about hepatitis B. The purpose of this was to spread awareness, educate, as well as recruitment. Unfortunately, many clubs did not respond to our emails. This might be because some clubs don’t know about us, and therefore are hesitant. A goal for the next school year will be to reach out to the student population more and promote the club.

Team HBV members assist at the hepatitis B screenings by encouraging clients to get screened, inputting client data, and helping the phlebotomists.

Target audience: At-risk populations in Los AngelesNotable Partner(s): APA Health CARE and the Asian Pacific Liver Center

Reflections

UCLA met its chapter goals in Spring 2011 by participating in more community outreach as well as holding more events on campus to raise awareness among college students. The HBAW concert that we held turned out to be successful for its pilot year and will continue to be an annual program. The collaboration with the Asian Pacific Liver Center is gaining momentum and we expect our members to play an even larger role in that organization by assisting in the following-up process with the clients. We also achieved our goal of spreading our name more at UCLA and solidifying our current and upcoming projects.

Reflections

As our first half year as an established Team HBV chapter, we feel that we managed to accomplish a great deal. Through the help of our adviser, Dr. Karen E. Kim, we’ve established strong ties with the community and will have even more opportunities to engage with Chicago community members in the following school year. Having attained school funding for next year, we will also be in a better position to hold events on campus in order to increase our campus visibility, which can be improved. Finally, we hope to make progress in our talks for UChicago to give free hepatitis B screenings for high-risk members, which went forward in April but were halted due to a change in staff.

Reflections

Our chapter has accomplished major events this semester with the amount of awareness we got for HBAW and for the Fashion Show. In terms of chapter goals for awareness both on campus and off campus, Team HBV at UPenn did a great job achieving increased awareness in comparison to last year. Furthermore, we are extremely happy with our partnership and collaboration with Hep B free Philly and Drexel Med Students. They have helped tremendously in terms of support and helping us to publicize our events. One major challenge we foresee going into next year is establishing a membership base, because it was difficult executing these events with just our board of 6 or so people. We need to have a strong membership so there are more hands to help us achieve bigger and better events in the future.
