HOODERS Hoods are a relic of medievalism in modern academic life. The hood's silken lining is the color of the university conferring the degree, and the velvet indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry and white; the dark green represents medicine. Hooders are individuals who symbolically bestow our degrees upon us. Each year the senior class chooses four individuals to place Academic Hoods upon us at our graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication to the Class and to Temple University School of Medicine. Our four years in medical school have been easier and more enjoyable due to individuals such as these, and they have served as inspirations and role models to us all. Hooders for the Class of 2000 are; Dr. Amy Goldberg, Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, Dr. Denise Hartman, Assistant Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Carson Schneck, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology and Dr. Gerald Sterling, Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Associate Dean for Medical Education. On behalf of the Class of 2000, the yearbook staff wishes to thank each of our hooders for the time they have taken to guide us through the beginning of our medical careers.
