Visitors to the medical school campus are greeted on Cedar Street by two statues of basketball players, one male and one female, sculpted by Wayne O. Southwick, Professor Emeritus of Orthopedics. In 2003, Southwick received the first Diversity Award given by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The award recognized Southwick’s almost five decades working to “confront the disparity in ethnic and gender representation in orthopaedic surgery.”
