The Four Hooders CONTINUING a great tradition. “Continuing the greatest of'TUMS traditions, these four individuals embody the highest of academic standards, while fostering the love and compassion needed to produce world-class physicians.” EdwardL. Aikens IT'S AN HONOR Our graduation hoods are a relic from medieval times which remains today in modern academia. 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 senior class chooses four individuals to place the hoods on the members of the class at the graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication towards the graduating class and to Temple University School of Medicine. Their commitments to teaching and to medicine serve as examples for us all. We 8 • 2002 Skull honor them as they so often have honored us. Hooders for the Class of 2002 are: Dr. Margot Boigon, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine Dr. Carson Schneck, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology Dr. Albert Lamperti, Professor, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology; Associate Dean for Student Affairs Dr. Gerald Sterling, Professor, Department of Pharmacology, Associate Dean for Medical Education On Behalf of the Class of 2002, 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.

THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL Temple's New Clinical Campus Class of 2002: It is with great excitement that we anticipate the graduation of the first clinical campus students that have completed their entire third and fourth year of clinical training at The Western Pennsylvania Hospital. We have also enjoyed having the main campus students for their required and elective rotations. Some of the students on required rotations have chosen to return in their senior year for electives. The campus has been established as one of the city's leading teaching facilities, which has also attracted medical students from across the country. The clinical campus students have been exposed to a wide variety of experiences in research and specialty societies, allowing the students to be recognized for their academic achievements. Robert Garvin was honored by the Pittsburgh Surgical Society as one of the Outstanding Senior Medical Students having an interest in surgery. He received a certificate and check from the society for his accomplishments. We look forward to our continued affiliation with the Temple University School of medicine and the growth of the clinical campus to become a major resource for the School of Medicine in educating their students. Sincerely, Elliot B. Goldberg, MD Associate Dean, Temple University School of Medicine Clinical Campus at Te Western Pennsylvania Hosp.tal 10 • 2002 Skull
