For one magical evening, the NEW Center Ballroom was transformed into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the setting of the beloved Harry Potter series. On Feb. 18, NEOMED students, faculty, staff and their guests celebrated at the NEOMED Aesculapius Ball, held annually to raise money for student scholarships. The event is named after Aesculapius, the god of medicine and healing, according to Roman mythology.
In total, $4,423.34 was raised at the event for the Sarah Cho Scholarship and the Tahini Mansour Memorial Scholarship Funds.
The event is sponsored by the NEOMED Student Council, American Medical Student Association, American Pharmacists Association and the Office of Student Affairs.
