Dean Goldschmidt to Deliver the Biennial Gross Lecture in Honor of the Pursuit of Knowledge
Library director Henry Lemkau, now retired, gave Ruth Gross the original art for the bookplate, designed for books purchased with her endowment, at the first Gross Lecture in 1991.

Dean Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D, will deliver the 10th Biennial Ralph H. and Ruth F. Gross Lecture on Thursday at 4 p.m. on a subject - "Medical Knowledge in the IT Era" - befitting the couple the lecture series honors.

The Dean will discuss how electronic information instantly available at the bedside will enhance patient care in the future. And he'll speak in the lobby of the Louis Calder Memorial Library, a place Ralph Gross, a Broward County poultry farmer whose scholarly quest turned misfortune into success, often visited to explore the connection between nutrition and health.

Physicians for Human Rights Raise Awareness and Money for World AIDS Day Miller School student members of Physicians for Human Rights commemorated World AIDS Day on December 1 with a bake sale and information campaign outside the Rosenstiel Medical Science Building. Nearby, a dozen white lab coats hung in the breezeway, bearing signs with sobering statistics such as "Every 9 minutes, another person in the United States becomes infected with HIV." Later, the group hosted an evening of song, dance and talks at Tap-Tap Haitian Restaurant on Miami Beach. In all, the group raised $1,000 for Empower "U," a Miami-based non-profit organization founded by and for people living with HIV/AIDS.
