It's official, Greenberg installed
Dr.
Greenberg shows off the presidential medallion following his official installation
as president. Cast on the front face of the medallion is the facade of
the original Medical College of South Carolina Building. Above the medallion
is a banner inscribed with the president’s name. The smaller medallions
on one side of the necklace are inscribed with the names of the colleges
that make up MUSC. The medallions on the other side display the names of
MUSC’s former presidents and their years of tenure.
A
cake five-feet in diameter showing the front face of the presidential medallion
was a highlight of the “MUSC Family” Party. The six smaller cakes surrounding
the center cake represent each of MUSC’s six colleges. A representative
from each college was selected to cut the first slice of each cake during
the celebration.
Dr.
Greenberg and Dr. Thomas Rowland, chairman of the MUSC Board of Trustees,
cut the first slice of the ultimate celebration cake at the “MUSC Family”
Party.
