Jonathan D. Hufford initiated into South Carolina Epsilon chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta at Wofford College

2010 Mar 29

Jonathan D. Hufford ('09) of Hamilton, Ohio ( 45013) was initiated into Alpha Epsilon Delta at Wofford College on Feb. 28.

Wofford is now the home of the South Carolina Epsilon chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta, an honor fraternity for qualified students planning careers in medicine, dentistry or other health care professions.

The chartering ceremony was held in the college's Roger Milliken Science Center. Dr. J. Gilbert Foster, a 1969 Wofford graduate and chief of urology at the Malizia Clinic in Atlanta, Ga., was the speaker.

Alpha Epsilon Delta was organized on April 28, 1926, at the University of Alabama. Today, it is the world's largest honor society exclusively serving preprofessional health care students with 201 chapters and more than 165,000 members. It offers opportunities for intellectual and professional development, provides a forum to students with common interests, and extends a program of service to benefit the college or university community.

The Wofford chapter initiated 39 charter members, with another initiation scheduled before the end of the academic year. The charter officers are Jonathan D. Hufford '09, Richard A. Steadman III '10, Lauren S. Jamison '10, Thomas D. Bryan '11 and Rebecca B. Hayter '10. There are also four honorary members: Dr. Noel A. Brownlee, Dr. Robert E. Moss, Dr. George Shiflet and Cameron B. Simmons.
