Students, Faculty Gather at Dr. Jarrell’s House
More than 150 students and faculty attended a Sunday afternoon social at the Severna Park home of Dr. Bruce Jarrell, senior associate dean for academic affairs. The intention of the event, held on November 16, was to promote fellowship within the medical school community. Participants were asked to bring a dish for sharing and soft drinks were provided. Many gathered around the television to cheer for the Ravens, while others played catch with a football, roasted marshmallows and enjoyed conversing. Faculty and staff in attendance included Drs. Jack Gladstein, David Mallott, S. Michael Plaut, Donna Parker, ’86, and Gary Plotnick, ’66. Additional events are being planned.

Freshmen Receive White Coats
The white coat of the medical clinician and scientist represents knowledge, skill, integrity, and the highest standards of professional work whether in the classroom, laboratory, or clinic. This traditional symbol was passed on to Maryland’s 155 freshmen during an elegant ceremony on November 13 in the MSTF Auditorium.

To emphasize the tradition, a Davidge Hall embroidery (funded by the Medical Alumni Association) was sewn onto each coat. The program included presentations by Dean Wilson, Dr. Bruce Jarrell, senior associate dean for academic affairs, and resident Joshua Forman, ’01. A reception for the first year class and their families followed in the atrium.
