Happy Anniversary, Jefferson! Three students join Paul C. Brucker, MD,
President, Thomas Jefferson University, as he cuts the first slice of a special Jefferson
“Anniversary Year” cake. From left are Charles Girard, Jefferson Medical College
’02, Jeff Charlap, College of Graduate Studies, and Kristen Bricker, College of
Health Professions, Physical Therapy. The cake-cutting was part of the University’s
Anniversary Celebration held on Scott Plaza and featuring songs by Jefferson’s
student a cappella groups, the “Histones” and “Arrythmia,” as well as
lunch, sodas and snacks, and a popular Jefferson historical trivia contest (see story for
employee winners). Attracting a cross-section of students, employees and staff, the event
commemorated three University anniversaries: the 175th of Jefferson Medical College, the
30th of the College of Graduate Studies and the 30th of the College of Health Professions.

The 11th annual “Computers in Healthcare Education
Symposium/Slice of Life Workshop,” hosted on campus by Thomas Jefferson University
(TJU), was the largest and most “international” so far, reports Rodney B.
Murray, PhD, Director of Academic Computing, TJU. Over five days, Jefferson hosted more
than 280 registrants, of which 50 came from other countries, including Australia, Canada,
Chile, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Here, Torben Kling-Petersen, PhD, of MedNet, Goteborg
University, Sweden, demonstrates to Dr. Murray (standing) and a symposium participant how
multimedia software is used for medical education in Sweden. You can find symposium
details, including abstracts of the presentations, at http://jeffline.tju.edu/ches/. Dr. Murray credits
the event’s success to the efforts of our co-host, Suzanne S. Stensaas, PhD, of the
University of Utah and her staff, to the hard work of Academic Information Services and
Research (AISR) staff, and the support of Edward W. Tawyea, MSLS, University Librarian and
Director, AISR . Workshops and demos were held at Scott Library. Next year’s
symposium is set for the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Robert Neroni

Recognize
this bus? It’s the way you can relax, save some money and lessen your chances of
experiencing “road rage.” Then it ensures that you’ll have a parking space
in a secure facility while helping to reduce the demand for on-campus parking. These are
just a few of the reasons for signing up for Jefferson’s Remote Parking Program
through payroll deduction. At just $37.50 per pay period, it’s a real bargain, say
remote parking bus riders who have used the service since it began October 1. Between 6
a.m. and 7 p.m. buses pick up passengers headed in to work at the lot near the Ben
Franklin Bridge and for the trip home at convenient campus locations. Skip the fuss and
take the bus! Just call Commuter Services at 215-955-6417. Frequent riders are: Dawn
Scardino, Assistant to the Director of the Kimmel Cancer Center; Phyllis Carpenter, RN,
Nursing Service; Kathy Ludwig, Anesthesiology; Tina Bergey, Kimmel Cancer Center; and
Donna-Jeanne Carson, Human Resources Information Services. Robert Neroni Photography
The
Department of Medicine, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, celebrated national
Sarcoidosis Awareness Day with an informational booth in the Atrium. On hand were members
of the department including Herbert Patrick, MD, MS, Clinical Associate Professor of
Medicine, Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University, shown above left, with
Geraldine Clark, a visitor at the hospital who stopped by the booth. Sarcoidosis is a
chronic illness affecting people of all ages and races. It involves granulomutous
inflammation, often starting in the lungs or lymph nodes. The Harold L. Israel Sarcoidosis
Support Group meets monthly, for more information call 215-955-5161. Dave Super
