Here is a picture of IWU grad Kris Ford and I in the trauma bay at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. We were in SRU1 (shock resuscitation unit or trauma bay) awaiting the arrival of a patient with multiple gunshot wounds. Over the past few years, we have had fun trading IWU, Bruce Criley, and Bob Hippensteele stories in the trauma bay and the surgical ICU. I continue to be value my IWU education- every day! Each time I work on a solving a problem- whether in the OR, trauma bay, ICU, or lab, I think about Criley and Hippensteele. Working on manuscripts brings back fond memories of asking questions, researching, and writing papers in freshman seminar with Dr. Jerry Israel. I even still have my presentation at the Research Conference on my CV as presentation #1. – Tim
Sure, you may have complained about it at the time, but living in the dorms provided the most freedom many of us had experienced at that point in our lives. I met some of my best friends freshmen year on the third floor of Gulick Hall. Click to check out the cast of characters in the back row.
