Face to Face: The Craniofacial Program Portrait Project
10/20/2010
As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." But the portraits of eight patients at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) prove that a picture can be worth so much more. In 2007, Dr. Canice Crerand '01, '04, psychologist in CHOP's Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Assistant Professor of Psychology in the Department of Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine, was presented with an exciting opportunity. She was approached by two of her colleagues, Drs. Scott Bartlett and David Sarwer, who were moved by an exhibit from the United Kingdom called Saving Faces, a collection of paintings that portrayed patients before, during, and after their facial reconstructive surgeries due to traumatic injuries or cancer. The purpose of Saving Faces was to convey to the public the possibilities of facial reconstructive surgery as well as the strength of the patients. As a psychologist at CHOP, Canice's patients are children and adolescents born with craniofacial conditions or who have sustained injuries that affect the form and function of their head and face. Canice helps her patients and their families cope with the stresses of multiple surgeries, absences from school, and the stigmatization that comes with being what society considers 'different'. "People stare, or ask them what's wrong with them," she said. "The social implications are often very painful and distressing to our patients."Canice and her colleagues at CHOP were especially impressed with the fact that the patients who participated in Saving Faces reported they felt better about themselves and that the project gave them a sense of pride. The doctors decided to conduct a similar project with their own young patients, hoping to yield the same results. With the help of Dr. Linton Whitaker, plastic surgeon and founder of the Craniofacial Program at CHOP, his good friend, world-renowned portrait artist Nelson Shanks, and a grant from the Edwin and Fannie Gray Hall Center for Human Appearance at the University of Pennsylvania, the doctors embarked on "Face to Face: The Craniofacial Program Portrait Project."For more information on Dr. Crerand, visit http://www.drexel.edu/alumni/spotlight_crerand.asp.

Co-op Photography Contest
9/13/2010
For the last two years, the Steinbright Career Development Center has held a photography contest for Drexel co-op students.According to Cooperative Education Coordinator Gregory Martino, the contest began two years ago as a way of developing interest in co-op abroad.?"For the first year, we asked students to submit photos that they took that highlighted their co-op placements in areas outside the Delaware Valley," he said. "Last year, we broadened the scope and requested that students submit photos that captured the unique side of their co-op experience."In 2008 and 2009, the contest was judged by a panel consisting of faculty and administrators from Drexel's photography department, a representative from the Steinbright Career Development Center, and someone from University Relations. According to Gregory, the contest will be held again in 2010.The winning photographers of the 2009 contest were: Elise Thompson, first place; Robinson Eng, second place and Tanzila Mannan, third place. "The 2009 winners received cash prizes and gifts, including a Dell printer," said Gregory. "The photographs were displayed at an opening party in the Steinbright Career Development Center office and a selection of photos was published in the Spring/Summer 2010 issue of the Drexel Magazine." In addition, photographs were displayed at the Alumni Family Picnic during Alumni Weekend 2010.
