In ancient Greece, the asclepion was a healing temple dedicated to Asclepius, the God of Medicine. Asclepius learned the art of surgery from the centaur Chiron and had the ability to raise the dead. The Rod of Asclepius is a roughhewn branch entwined with a single serpent.

Intersession Fun
There were a few fun events during intersession. Some of the Nigerian students in our class put together a traditional(ish) Nigerian dinner which was delicious. The food involves lots of spices and really robust flavors. They also had some Nigerian music (soon they ran out and played salsa) and the talented chefs wore traditional clothing. We also had a reception at the interim Dean's house which I really enjoyed. A lot of the faculty were there and it was good catching up with my classmates over hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
