(From left) Medical students Rebecca Chancey, Melanie Sutter, Noopur Gangopadhyay and Katie Bitter gather around nearly 90 teddy bears that were collected for children affected by Hurricane Katrina. The bears were donated to Hugs Across America and distributed at a Salvation Army hurricane relief shelter in San Antonio. The Pediatric Interest Group (PIG) — a medical-student organization that fosters interactions between medical students and faculty members in the Department of Pediatrics — sponsored the teddy bear drive. More than 40 medical students are involved with the PIG program, which was started last spring.
