Happy New Year!

Nothing beats ringing in the New Year than joining in on a celebratory party to reflect on the year past and welcome in the new one. A quick perusal through the Medical Center Archives' photograph collections (much of it is now available online) affirms that faculty, staff, and students at the Hospital and Medical College over the years knew how to get their party on. To help get you into a festive mood, here are some shots of past students, faculty, staff, and yes, even the administration, making merry.
