We thought we'd drop you a line to let you know what's
been happening at the Center for Literature and
Medicine during the decade since the inception of the
Biomedical Humanities Program. Frankly, we can't
believe it's been that long. We've seen a fair bit of
change here and undoubtedly you have experienced more!
We want and need to hear about that.
As a
graduate of Hiram's official Center of Excellence, you
may want to know a bit about what we've been doing.
Did you know...
-
The
Biomedical Humanities program has a permanent
faculty chair, the Herbert L.
and Pauline Wentz Andrews Professor of Biomedical
Humanites?
-
The
founding recipient of that Chair, Professor
Carol Donley, has begun
her retirement, and we have started raising funds to
establish a scholarship fund in her name?
-
The
new recipient of that Chair, Professor
Colleen Fried, was named the new Chair in August 2009?
-
That
all students in our new nursing program will have
the opportunity to graduate with a minor in
Biomedical Humanities?
-
We
are about to welcome a new cohort of
Accelerated Biomedical
Humanities students this August?
-
The Literature and Medicine
book series is revamping its mission?
-
That
there are three programs of interest: Ethics
minor, Public Leadership minor, and the Creative
Writing Major?
-
That
it might be time for you to take in more Medical
Humanities training as only Hiram can provide?
Consider participating in this year's
Summer Celebration celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Center?
Hopefully this will give you some flavor of what's
been up with us. As we receive your feedback, look for
updates alumni information to appear on this website.
And as always, we'd love to see you!
Yours
sincerely,
Colleen Fried
Director, Center for Literature,
Medicine and Biomedical Humanities |
