College of Medicine, Office of Student Life

Teamwork! | Marker Collage, 2025

There is a longstanding belief that individuals have a dominant hemisphere of the brain; with right-brain thinkers being more artistic, empathic, and creative and left-brained thinkers being more analytical, meticulous, and logical. The Office of Student Life understands that harmony across both hemispheres allows us to function at our best and a successful physician is whole-brained, tapping into both hemispheres to be equally creative and logical.

The Office of Student Life consists of a collaborative group, providing services and support focused on the holistic wellness of our students on their journey to their MD degree. Each team member was asked to reflect on how their work contributes to the overall wellness of our students and to express it through color and style on their individual canvas (without knowing the subject of the overall image). The canvases were then combined to create this mosaic.

The Office of Student Life: Adam Crawford, Dr. Alex Grieco, Allison Shamell, Anne Hinze, Ashley Secord, Autumn Coulson, Beverly Trout, Erica Williams, Julie Brim, Kim Doran, Dr. Krayton Blower, Lora Eberhard, Mike Horgan, Stacy Drake, and True Parks
