Annual Scholarship Presentation

Congratulations! Our Annual Scholarship Presentation is held to congratulate our award winners and honor our alumni and friends who help to make our scholarship program possible. Taking place during Reunion Weekend, we also present several prestigious awards to alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their specialties in medicine. We strongly encourage you to attend. Many donors and alumni will be present.
