THREE ROOMS RENAMED
Three more rooms changed names in 2017, honoring
people whose support has made a difference at the College of
Medicine. In each room, a plaque tells the story.
The name “Helen N. Livingston & William T. Murphy
Student Services Office” applies not just to Room 2140 but
unofficially to every space where Livingston has counseled
new and prospective students for more than 20 years. As the
plaque states, she has been “not just a dean but a substitute
mom. With the loving support and volunteer hours of her
husband, Ted, she helped transform academic pipelines into
lifelines.... We honor ... their generous scholarship donations
and their commitment to our students.”
The Linda C. Stine Conference Room is part of the Clinical
Learning Center, where recently retired faculty member
Curtis Stine spent hours mentoring tomorrow’s physicians.
Patient-centered care is a priority he shared with his late wife,
a nurse who (as her plaque states) “loved bringing babies
into the world.” After she died, her family made a donation
in her name. The plaque reads: “The Stine family hopes the
students who learn in this room will share Linda’s passion for
working as part of an interdisciplinary team for the benefit of
the patient.”
Last year’s annual report told the story of financial gifts
from standardized patient Bill Leseman and his wife, Susan.
This year, they’ve gone a step further. As their plaque in one
of the CLC’s exam rooms states: “The Lesemans have adopted
this room, through a generous donation supporting the
creative ways in which the FSU College of Medicine’s Clinical
Learning Center – and Bill’s fellow SP’s – let tomorrow’s
physicians practice on today’s well-rehearsed ‘patients.’”
