On Saturday, Nov. 14, SolSurvivors Oregon will host a free
Melanoma Community Research Forum in collaboration with the OHSU Department of Dermatology. During this half-day forum, participants will learn about family history and melanoma risk as well as recent advances in melanoma treatment. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to participate in small group discussions to share their experiences to help shape future research projects.
View a list of volunteers needed below, or visit our
VolunteerSpot page to sign up.
Note-taker
8:00am - 3:30pm
These volunteers will take notes during the small group discussions following the presentations. We will also have a digital recording device, so you will not be responsible for taking down every word, but it will be helpful to have someone write down themes and ideas or things that might not come across in an audio recording. More information will be provided at a meeting in person or by phone to talk about the details of the event. A volunteer orientation will take place before the start of the event.
Hours:8AM-3:30PM
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Elizabeth Stoos at
stoos@ohsu.edu or 503-418-9356.
Registration Table
8:00am - 9:30am
These volunteers will check names off the registration list as attendees arrive, and hand out materials.
A volunteer orientation one hour before the event will answer any questions that might come up about the agenda for the day, where refreshments or restrooms are located, etc. Hours: 8AM-9:30AM
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Elizabeth Stoos at
stoos@ohsu.edu or 503-418-9356.
Welcoming and Directing
8:00am - 3:00pm
These volunteers will help direct participants by placing signs in the building before the event, and greeting attendees at the entrance to the parking lot and the entrance to the building.
You will still be able to participate, and will only have tasks before the event begins, and during break times.
The event will be held at the new OHSU Collaborative Life Sciences Building on the South Waterfront, and since many people have not yet been to this building is can be very helpful to have a person to point them in the right direction. An orientation will start an hour before the event, to give you time to see the area and be familiar with where to direct participants.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact Elizabeth Stoos at
stoos@ohsu.edu or 503-418-9356.

More information will be provided at a pre-event meeting in person or by phone to talk about the details. A volunteer orientation will take place before the start of the event.
