2 | TEAM HBV SEMESTER REPORT
Collegiate Chapter Update Introducing:
We are the Team HBV at the University of Pittsburgh and we were just approved last week as an official club on campus. Because we were just approved, we have not done any projects or events but look forward to doing so in the upcoming semester. Short term goals: ● Recruit members at the beginning of the Fall 2012 semester ● Fill all officer positions since right now we only have 3 positions filled ● Have at least 2 events in the Fall 2012 semester: tabling and a fundraising. Long term goals: ● Since this will be our first active year, we need to see if Team HBV will be sustainable with enough interested members on campus, ● I’d also like to see the chapter get involved with the PittMed APAMAS who have a community HBV screening clinic. --Cathina Nguyen | President, Team HBV at University of Pittsburgh

Reflections This semester, Team HBV at Brown held successful campus events and also made greater efforts to reach out to the Providence community. Our event with Dr. Carol Lewis was well publicized and we had a successful turnout. Dr. Lewis’ not only spoke about Hepatitis B, but also opened our eyes about the health issues facing the refugee population in Providence. We gathered signatures for Campaign Hep B at Dr. Lewis’ talk and during our free brownie giveaway event. Later in the semester, we placed an emphasis on community outreach by working with the Laotian community and Chinese community of Providence. We were able to speak to the Laotian community at their New Year festival and passed out numerous brochures. In addition, we gave a presentation at the Chinese Christian Church of Rhode Island to raise awareness about Hepatitis B. Next semester we will continue to work with APAMSA to further reach other groups in Providence. In addition, we will be working on our Hepatitis B screening project.

Reflections
The past semester went swimmingly. I have faith that the next eboard will do well. Throughout the past year, I learned that an organization with the objectives like us must not be too small – many of the activities that we may engage in are more effective with more manpower. Yet at the same time, a closeknit team is definitely a plus.

Chapter members, high school volunteers, and friends all helped from 10am to 12 pm by holding an outreach table, in which we gave out Hepatitis B surveys testing people’s knowledge of the virus, and then informing them more of what they need to know to be safe, aware, and make sure that they were tested. The event was published on La Voz, De Anza College newspaper, and World Journal, the biggest Chinese newspaper in America. Target: Local residents Partner(s): Asian Liver Center at Stanford University, High school TEAM HBVs.

8 | TEAM HBV SEMESTER REPORT
Reflections Starting as a newly established collegiate chapter in the winter quarter, we aimed at promoting the awareness of hepatitis B in the community, fundraising and recruiting more people to participate in Jade Ribbon Campaign. More residents in Bay Area got the chance to learn about hepatitis B from the outreach booth and freeze mob event this March, and by publicizing our event we learned more awareness can be generated through the mass media. At the end of May, we provided 123 people with free hepatitis B testing, so we plan to hold similar events regularly and make more people aware of the significance of hepatitis B testing. We also held several fundraising events and gathered enough fund for bigger events in the future. As a community college chapter, recruiting members required certain efforts throughout the two quarters, and based on our experience, we will focus more on the new students in De Anza College to improve our chapter. With the new officers elected in May, we believe that Team HBV at De Anza will hold more events and bring public health awareness to more people in the future.

Campus Screening Initiative
Presentations and discussions led by hepatologist Dr. Arthur Kim (Director of the Viral Hepatitis Clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital), Mr. Dan Church (Massachusetts Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention Coordinator), and Dr. Hannah Lee (Director of the Asian-Pacific Liver Wellness Program at Tufts Medical Center on topics ranging from current research on hepatitis B to the status of the viral hepatitis problem in both the United States and the state of Massachusetts. About 30 students and community members attended. Collaborated with Team HBV at MIT and the Hepatitis B Initiative of Boston, and co-sponsored by the Harvard Premedical Society, Harvard Hong Kong Society, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Student Association. Currently in the process of setting up a campaign to target students born outside the US or of Asian descent for free screening and vaccination at the university clinic. Will collaborate with the university’s international students office and various student groups.
Reflections
This past spring, Team HBV at Harvard focused on expanding its community education initiative. While our tabling initiative was restricted by the number of community festivals held in the local Asian community, we decided to significantly expand our classroom-based health education initiatives. We encountered difficulties finding consistent partnering organizations but were able to collaborate successfully with CollegeBound Dorchester, the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center (BCNC), the Boston Chinatown Evangelical Church (BCEG), and the Vietnamese American Civic Association (VACA). To prepare for our expanded classroombased health education initiative, we recruited and retained around 10 volunteers, many of whom were fluent in another language. On campus, we continued to expand our presence with another successful Hepatitis B Awareness Week (HBAW). Our jadecolored cookies and accompanying informational placards received many positive feedbacks, and we were able to consistently recruit signers for the Change.org petition. The Jade Forum received a good turnout, but we hope to expand future years’ audience to include more members who are not affiliated with Team HBV or other hepatitis B groups. This summer, we will continue to implement the campus screening initiative, which, due to many unforeseeable and uncontrollable delays, has yet to launch. Hopefully, the screening initiative will launch in time for fall’s member recruitment drive.

12 | TEAM HBV SEMESTER REPORT
Reflections Overall, MIT Team HBV met its goals of continuing to establish itself as a student group and introducing its presence to campus and the community. Our chapter successfully obtained official recognition and funding as a student group at MIT. We held our first General Body Meeting and held an end-of-the-year study break to increase student body awareness of our group. We also held screening events with our community partners MAP for Health and Quest Diagnostics, while still collaborating with Harvard Team HBV. One of our main goals for the upcoming semester is to recruit new members for our chapter, and establish a stronger presence on campus.

14 | TEAM HBV SEMESTER REPORT
Reflections Seeing as how we only recently started a chapter of Team HBV at Northwestern, I feel that we are only at the initial state of becoming a structured organization. We were able to get rid of most of the kinks in our club this last quarter and hopefully with the incoming freshmen, we’ll be able to recruit more members into our club.

Campaign HepB Tabling
Volunteers recruited students, faculty, and visitors to sign the Campaign HepB Petition. Target audience: Rice Community Partners: Chinese Student Association
Reflections
Team HBV at Rice was established within the Rice Chinese Student Association in Fall 2011. This semester, we expanded our collaboration to the Rice Pre-Medical Society, and we co-hosted Hepatitis B Awareness Week (HBAW) at Rice. HBAW was our only goal for this semester and we were able to really bring campus visibility to the disease through all the events and campus media, which had an emphasis on fun learning. Unfortunately, we were only able to garner a hundred or so signatures from the Rice community for the Campaign HepB Petition since it came too late in our semester and after our HBAW. Team HBV at Rice will continue to fall within the Chinese Student Association next year under new leadership, but we hope that it can become a free standing chapter the year after. We hope to continue garnering interest in the club and reach out to the community.

Preparations
Reflections As a new chapter, our main goal had been to establish ourselves on campus and complete all the steps required by our school’s student organization office. Finding new members was a difficult task, considering that spring semester is not a time of much recruitment compared to fall semester. Our hope is that the new E-board will develop recruitment ideas over the summer break that will translate to a larger turnout for the next introductory sessions. Another project our chapter will focus on is running the AACI HBV Clinic in San Jose. This will be a huge opportunity for our members to actively reach out to the community.

Target: Asian residents of San Jose Notable partner: City of San Jose
Reflections During this past semester, Stanford Team HBV continued to establish itself as a force in Bay Area health advocacy and API wellness, which were the major goals of the 2011-12 academic year. Our chapter formed the necessary connections with campus, county and state leaders to put together an array of projects that ultimately educated and screened our targeted high-risk communities. By creatively utilizing the resources that we have, Stanford Team HBV has paved the way for largescale and impactful endeavors in the near future. We expect to use this foundation to ensure that our whole community understands the importance of learning their Hepatitis B status.

Tabling and Networking at API Events
Team HBV members tabled at two API events--one was UCB’s Asian Pacific Islander Issues Conference (APIICON) and the other was a networking event at the MOSAIC Artist Preview Show in SF. Both events provided opportunities for Team HBV to speak with other organizations with the purpose of forging partnerships for future collaborations as well as educating others about hepatitis B. At the MOSAIC event, a representative was permitted to make an announcement regarding the campaign petition that was going on at the time. Target audience: local API community Community partner: AsianWeek Foundation
Hepatitis B Awareness Week
For one week, Team HBV at UCB held a variety of events to collect signatures for the campaign petition as well as raise awareness of hepB on campus. Activities throughout the week consisted of a mob freeze, tombstone and tape sculpture displays, hepB plushie sales, free irises, and continuous tabling and flyering. The week was a success as we sold out of plushies and collected over 400 signatures. Target audience: UCB campus and community Community partner: None
22 | TEAM HBV SEMESTER REPORT
Reflections This semester, UCB focused on expanding the club in terms of membership and number of campus/ community outreach events. We definitely succeeded in adding more events (classroom presentations) that hold potential for continuation in the future, though there were a few collaborations that are still only in the preparations stage. In terms of membership, we increased the number of bonding events and socials and as a result, gained a more loyal and enthusiastic membership. For the future, we would like to continue all current projects as well as furthering our outreach into the community and planning and carrying out a larger scale outreach project, such as a HepB Walk or concert.

To educate the general public and promote awareness about hepatitis B, in addition to promoting campaign hep B. Brochures, balloons, and plushie materials were distributed as a part of the weeklong event. Target audience: The general public
Reflections Through the events we’ve held this semester, we’ve learned that plushie making is very popular with the students here. We’ve held plushie-making workshops before, but this time, we’ve decided to make a kit for students. The main purpose for this is convenience and time efficiency for us and also for students, especially those who cannot make it to events. In the kits, we also do some promoting by including information about hepatitis B and about our club. As with the previous semester, the main goal was to try to recruit interested members. Although the events were successful, there was not much improvement seen in recruitment. This has been a tough and lingering problem for our chapter.

2/9/12 UCLA Learning Resource Center
Guest Presentation by Two MS4s
Two fourth-year medical students from the David Geffen School of Medicine, Michael Cheng and Tony Hung, taught our members at a general meeting about the pathophysiology of HBV and the approach of integrative east-west medicine to diagnose and treat diseases. Members also received the opportunity to look at real liver specimens and compared a healthy liver to a cirrhotic one as well as to another with full-blown liver cancer. Target: Team HBV at UCLA members
Reflections Team HBV at UCLA made great strides this third year to build on annual events, such as HBAW B Free Concert and Bruin Plaza Festival, Project WILD Elementary School Seminar, and Asian Pacific Liver Center screenings, and more importantly, on coordinating new projects, such as weekly UCLA hepatologist shadowing opportunities and additional campus and community educational seminars. Membership retention improved immensely with 20-40 members at general meetings throughout the year. We not only met our goals of establishing continuity of club members and of annual events with campus and community partners, but in implementing and coordinating new programs for our members. Although we were unable to complete the planning this year in order for members to work with the Asian Pacific Liver Center of Los Angeles to make follow-up calls to Vietnamese-speaking positive HBV carriers, our work will continue into next year and we have confidence that we will be able to continue collaborating with Vietnamese for Community Health at UCLA to bring forth this follow-up call system. Overall, Team HBV at UCLA has only become a tighter-knit family and will continue to renew and build relationships with its community to better HBV awareness.

Reflections I do not think our chapter met our goals. We were still very new this year and had an issue with board cohesion, participation, and dedication. We were hoping to be more visible on campus this year and partner with several organizations. We also wanted to host a fundraiser during spring quarter. However, due to time constraints, and several of the organizations we planned to partner with cancelling on us last minute, we were unable to fulfill many of the plans we had made for the quarter. One thing I want to work on next year is making sure that our board is a cohesive unit. Rather than simply having board members return without applying or making an effort to get to know one another, I am working with the new co-presidents to create an entirely new board. I am hoping to have this done by the beginning of Fall and would like for our board to create a timeline of goals they hope to achieve over the year.

Hepatitis B Awareness Week at UChicago
For HBAW, we pushed to get signatures from as many people as possible, and we used several tactics throughout the month. We sent out links to the petition through all the listhosts we had access to and brought computers to dining halls to pass around and have people sign. During the week of May 7th, we tabled outside and offered free pocky to people who would sign the petition. Target audience: UChicago students and staff
Summer Breeze Tabling
At Uchicago’s yearly summer carnival event, we tabled and explained the role of Team HBV to interested students and prospective new members. Target audience : Interested students
Reflections This quarter was a transition quarter for us, since I will not be returning next year. We did not end up doing as many activities as I had hoped we would be able to for HBAW, and that is something that I feel we fell short on. However, our board is now well-established as a team, and the new president next year, Grace Park, is extremely enthusiastic and full of new ideas. I have very high hopes that she’ll do a great job next year.

Event Descriptions Hepatitis B Dinner Dialogue
Team HBV at UNLV organized the Hepatitis B Dinner Dialogue to create a network of hepatitis B advocates among API groups in UNLV. Attended by at least 35 student leaders, the dinner dialogue invited Ms. Aurora Wong, Coordinator of the Hep-B Free Las Vegas, as guest speaker. The event gathered all API groups and student organizations with large API membership including Raising Our Asian Rights, Filipino American Student Association, Hospitality Association of Koreans, Chinese Student and Scholars Association, Japanese Student Association, Hong Kong Student Association, Taiwanese Student Association, Tzu Chi Rebel Rangers, Asian Film and Drama Club, Colleges Against Cancer, American Medical Student Association, Association of Pre-Health Professionals-Minority Science Student Program , and Asian Pacific American Law Student Association.
Hepatitis B Rally
On April 19, 2012, Team HBV at UNLV spearheaded the first Hepatitis B Rally in UNLV. In our aim to promote hepatitis B awareness in a fun and informative way, our group took an ambitious yet successful move to enjoin the community through a program of information and lively entertainment. The Rally gathered more than 100 hundred students and non-students demonstrating at the UNLV Amphitheater all in the fight against hepatitis B and liver cancer.
Weekly tabling at the UNLV Student Union
To commemorate HBAW, Team HBV at UNLV tabled at the UNLV Student Union for four Tuesdays in a row last April and May 2012. Members of the group disseminated information on hepatitis B and Team HBV ballers. From this initiative, we have gathered hundreds of signatures for our campaign.
Festival of Communities
The largest community event in UNLV, the Festival of Communities aims to showcase different cultural experiences through food, dance, and music. Team HBV at UNLV in cooperation with the UNLV Student Health Center, set up a booth throughout the entire day. Our team helped the staff of UNLV Student Health Center to educate and encourage students to have their hepB screenings. We also distributed Team HBV ballers at the event and Team HBV sticker for the kids.
Rebel Relay for Life
One of the successful events nationwide, the annual Relay for Life gathered almost all student groups around UNLV all in the fight to eradicate cancer. Team HBV at UNLV tabled at the event and participated in their activities.
SPRING 2012 | 31
Reflections Team HBV at UNLV is relatively new in this network and the group believes that we have met most of our goals this semester. Our commitment to promote hepatitis B and liver cancer not only in UNLV but also in the community may be exemplified by our visibility in all campus activities. The Rally, a rather ambitious event, was successful in terms of engaging the student community to be informed about this deadly disease and to further encourage them to be screened and immunized. This semester also showed how we have expanded our network of hepatitis B advocates by organizing the hepatitis B dinner dialogue. All in all, it was a great experience for all of us as we gear towards more innovative ways to raise hepatitis B awareness. Our group will explore more inventive ideas for fund-raising in the next semester and we intend to do that with a robust membership. We hope to strengthen our membership as we continue to further reach out to the community.

SPRING 2012 | 33
Reflections For the spring semester, we aimed to increase active membership, network with other UW student organizations, and increase our presence on UW campus. We have accomplished those goals to a sense. We made connections to various student organizations through LPBM Did you Know fliers. Also from those fliers, balloons, tabling on campus, we have create a stronger presence of Team HBV on campus. During Hepatitis B Awareness Week, some of our members really came through to help us in our efforts to meet our goals and we have recruited new members. For next semester, we hope to increase active membership by attending the Student Activity Fair at the beginning of the school year, creating more Team HBV events that require volunteers and team bonding events. We would like to give more presentations throughout campus by reaching out to more student organizations. We will push for more community outreach opportunities by networking with various organizations such as Chinese Information Service Center, International Community Health Services, churches and schools.
