All faculty from the School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences and the School of Health Sciences and Practice are invited to stop by and take a break from the demands of life in academia and enjoy the new faculty lounge located in the Basic Sciences Building (BSB) in Room A39. Amenities include comfortable seating, a dining area and a flat screen television. The artwork adorning the walls was donated by Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A., chancellor and chief executive officer. "The new faculty lounge is the first addition to the BSB dedicated just for faculty and should provide a welcome opportunity for faculty to have academic interactions. I look forward to seeing faculty there," said Carl I. Thompson, Ph.D., president of the Faculty Senate and professor of physiology.
