New Black History Month Poster Exhibit honors pioneers of medicine

The Black History Month poster exhibit honors the many contributions of African Americans in science and in the field of medicine.  Nine of the eighteen posters are displayed on the Main Floor of the South Campus (main) Library; the remaining posters are on D1 across from the Food Court.

The exhibit is sponsored by the UT Southwestern Chapter of the Student National Medical Association along in conjunction with the Office of Minority Student Affairs and the Office of Faculty Diversity and Development.  It will remain throughout the month of February.

Biomedical Communications Alumni Art Exhibit showcases great talent

An exhibit of 40 medical illustrations and fine art by 23 alumni of the Biomedical Communications Graduate Program is on display in the South Campus (main) Library until May 18.

This year marks the 65th anniversary of the world’s first degree in medical illustration, which was awarded by Southwestern Medical College in 1947. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the program will close in July of 2013.
