PLEXUS is a student organized publication that showcases artwork by UCI School of Medicine students, physicians, faculty, staff, and patients. True to its name, PLEXUS aspires to connect both healers and healing alike through the unifying language of art. This year, we have renewed our efforts to bring PLEXUS to the greater UCI community with improved distribution as well as outreach events, including a collaboration with the Bowers Art Museum. We would like to give a special thanks to our faculty advisor, Dr. Johanna Shapiro, and Dr. Ellena Peterson, Associate Dean of Admissions and Outreach. This book would not have been possible without their support.

We hope you enjoy PLEXUS 2013.

To contribute to PLEXUS, please send artwork to plexusjournal@ gmail.com. We look forward to seeing your submissions!
