Sherrod Library is temporarily home to a few extraordinary women.
Selected as the first stop in the nation, Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America’s Women Physicians, a traveling exhibition, is currently displayed on the first floor of Sherrod Library.
“We [ETSU] were selected from a highly competitive pool,” said Harriet Masters director of The Women’s Resource Center at ETSU. “Everyone should visit it.”
With an interactive guide, visitors can use automated computers to hear from the women themselves their experiences of becoming physicians.
One featured honoree, Dr. Susan Potts Sloan, co-founded the Intertribal Alliance of Medical Students in Minneapolis and served as its’ first president. Now she’s an associate professor of internal medicine at the Quillen College of Medicine.
“This [the exhibition] speaks volumes to our progress here at ETSU and women’s place in it,” Masters said.
Sherrod Library, the Quillen College of Medicine Library, the Office of Women in Medicine, the Office of Cultural Affairs and the Women’s Resource Center locally sponsor the traveling exhibition. It is scheduled to remain open until Oct. 14, during normal library hours and is free of charge.
