The LECOM staff was commisioned by the dean of the college : Sylvia Ferretti. The starting
point of the design was to create the staff of Aesculapius, Greek god of medicine. His staff was a branch with a snake
wrapped around it. It has been depicted in various ways by different artists through the ages.
I chose to stylize the branch by making it a staff with a three lobed capital, topped with
a sphere inscribed with the logo of the college and the establishment date.
