Two Students Visit RL Turner High School
Maya Chaphalkar and Marie Sena visited RL Turner High School and spoke with students in the AP Art and Clinical Rotations class about the Medical Illustration Field. They also gave the students input on a mural they were creating for the wing of the Academy of BioMedical Professions, under the direction of Sandy Henry, AP Art Teacher.
Alumna, Phoebe Gloeckner has been awarded a 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship. Gloeckner is currently an assistant professor in the School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan.
Gloeckner was awarded the fellowship for a graphic narrative about a Mexican girl murdered at the turn of this century in Ciudad Juarez, a major U.S.-Mexico border crossing adjacent to El Paso, Texas. Gloeckner developed a three-dimensional technique, teaching herself to use tools and to construct nearly everything she would normally draw

Belinda Klein (2006) has accepted a job in Columbus Georgia with The Hughston Clinic.
Everyone had fun at this year’s t-shirt auction to raise money for the Vesalius Trust. Not only did we have a great support from our alumni, but the students also raised over $300 by offering temporary tattoos designed by Marie Sena. Everyone at the event wanted in on the tattoo fun and they sold out in no time! Our program raised a total of $2,535 and came in third due to some last minute creativeness from the Georgia and RIT programs. It is always a good spirited competition between the programs and all of the money goes toward providing scholarships for all of our students.
David F. Baker from San Antonio made the high bid this year and will receive a limited edition Lew Calver print. Also, all of the programs were able to choose prizes this year and our students selected both a print by Bill Westwood and a print by Mike King of the signature illustration for Mayo Clinic’s art show “Scalpel to Sketch: The Science and Beauty of Medical Illustration at Mayo Clinic. ” Ideas are already brewing for the AMI meeting next year in Indianapolis - all suggestions welcome!
