The ITS Web Design & Development group recently launched three new web sites for Weill Cornell Medical College:
Music & Medicine
Lead designer: Bernard Boey
Medical students typically excel in science, but few people know that many are also gifted musically. From conservatory-trained professional musicians to serious amateurs who have studied and played music for many years, all are part of the Weill Cornell Medical College Family.
Supporting the student musician as he or she segues into the role of medical student is the primary intent of the Music and Medicine Initiative. This has been accomplished by developing a structure that enables medical students to continue a musical life while studying medicine at Weill Cornell. This may include such things as access to private rehearsal spaces and performance venues throughout New York City. It may also include specialized mentoring from faculty - both medical and musical - from Weill Cornell and partner institutions such as The Juilliard School and the 92nd Street Y, institutions famous for their commitment to the arts in New York City and beyond.
Weill Cornell Community Clinic
Lead designer: Jacob Fierro
The Weill Cornell Community Clinic (WCCC) is a student-led initiative aimed at providing high-quality and equitable health care to uninsured individuals in New York City. We offer comprehensive primary healthcare services, including preventive care, treatment for acute and chronic conditions, and referrals to appropriate and affordable specialty services. We aim to extend healthcare access to underprivileged populations, while encouraging the spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy among our medical students and faculty.
Weill Cornell Campaign - Ways to Give
The Discoveries that Make a Difference Campaign is the most exciting and ambitious campaign in Weill Cornell Medical College's history.
With its successful completion, we will double the research laboratory space of the Medical College, secure our position at the forefront of medicine for the next generation and be a leader in transforming health care in this century. So far, we have raised nearly $966 million--including $362 million for the new Medical Research Building located on 69th Street between York and First Avenues--towards our Campaign goal of $1.3 billion. We need your support to raise the remaining $334 million. Campaign priorities include the Medical Research Building, recruitment of 30 or more physician - scientists, student scholarships and direct program support.
