IU Medical Students' Show Benefits Indianapolis' Homeless
INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana University School of Medicine students will temporarily
break from their studies and clinical rotations and will step into the
spotlight for a program that aids the city's homeless.
The curtain will rise on the 11th annual Evening of the Arts at 7:30
p.m., Friday, March 22, at the University Place Conference Center auditorium
on the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis campus. Faculty,
residents and staff also perform.
Students' art works and photography also will be on display near the
auditorium and sold in a silent auction.
Proceeds from the show and auction will benefit programs of the IU School
of Medicine's Health and Homelessness Project. More than $7,100 was raised
from last year's event.
"The project was created in 1989 by the medical students to provide
medical services to the Indianapolis homeless community," said Teresa
Lo, a fourth-year medical student and coordinator of Evening of the Arts.
"The project is student-directed under the supervision of a faculty
advisor. Student and physician volunteers are assigned to one of six clinics
and provide staffing on a rotating basis."
Tickets for "Evening of the Arts" are $8 each and may be purchased at the door. The University Place Conference Center Auditorium is located at 850 West Michigan Street.
