In celebration of the College of Medicine’s 125th anniversary, UNMC College of Medicine associate dean, professor and campus historian Robert Wigton, M.D., has compiled a series of trivia to test the campus’s historical knowledge.
For each of the next eight days, UNMC Today will publish a question and invite UNMC employees to send their answers to today@unmc.edu. The first person to respond correctly will win a free, gray T-shirt commemorating the College of Medicine’s 125th anniversary. There will be no repeat winners. Answers will be published the following day, along with the next question. Winners will be contacted by UNMC Public Affairs, as well as announced in UNMC Today.
The series will end June 14, when the campus community is invited a free carnival to celebrate the College of Medicine’s anniversary. The carnival — complete with cotton candy, games and prizes — will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Swanson Courtyard (west of the Durham Outpatient Center). Carnival goers will be treated to a jazz band, jugglers and clowns. T-shirts also will be available for purchase.
Here is the first question — good luck!
