Bulletin boards and email are the standard means by which the Institute communicates with students. Every student is assigned an Institute email account, which students are expected to monitor, as many official or time-sensitive notices are sent via email. The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) must approve all posting of signs by students on bulletin boards. Any student-posted material not approved by OSA will be removed.

The Mothers' Corner is a MGB program for employees and students at the MGH Institute, returning to work/school after maternity leave. The Mothers' Corner provides new mothers with the opportunity to continue breastfeeding while back at work/school. We are fortunate to be able to offer an efficient electric breast pump in most of our comfortable, private lactation rooms.
In 2009, The Mothers' Corner was awarded the Breastfeeding-Friendly Award from the Massachusetts Breastfeeding Coalition, a non-profit that honors employers who actively support their employees who want to continue breastfeeding when they return to work after maternity leave.
There are four Mother's Corner rooms at the MGH Institute: One on the first floor of the Shouse Building at the end of the lobby, one in 2CW on the second floor in the OT Center, one in the MGH Building 149 in the Navy Yard, and one in 1CW near the bathrooms.

A.L.E.R.T. - AWARENESS LETS EVERYONE REDUCE THEFT
The MGH Institute of Health Professions community and tenants of the Shouse Building participate in the A.L.E.R.T. Program—"Partners in Prevention" a program through Massachusetts General Hospital Police & Security Department.
The A.L.E.R.T. Program identifies vulnerable items or areas that are susceptible to theft. Stickers are placed on all items or doors found unattended or unsecured as a reminder to lock up and secure items of value. Unattended items of value will be removed for safety and held by MGH Police & Security, in the lobby, until retrieved by the owner. Please read the sticker for specific information.
