***MEDIA ADVISORY***COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS & SURGEONS REVISIT DAY 2001 Medical Students to Stage Fashion Show and Auction WHAT: Revisit Day 2001 gives potential members of the College of Physicians & Surgeons (P&S) Class of 2005 a chance for a second look before making the final decision to enroll. Jennifer Thompson, the Olympic gold medallist, is among the students attending Revisit Day this year. As part of the two-day program, P&S students will stage a fashion show and auction. WHY: Students will auction off 15 outfits designed by Peter “Jeff” Nichols, a third-year P&S Student. The outfits are created entirely out of medical garb: scrubs, white coats, hairnets, surgical gloves, and surgical masks. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Operation Smile, a program in which surgeons travel to developing countries and donate their skills for maxillo-facial surgery (to repair cleft lit/palate, for example). WHEN: TONIGHT, Thursday, April 26 7:00 p.m. WHERE: Main Lounge, Bard Hall Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons 50 Haven Avenue (168th Street) # # # |
