Greetings from the Office of Development & Alumni Affairs!

I am delighted to help you stay connected with the School of Medicine. It’s a privilege to keep you informed about alumni news, upcoming events, opportunities to support your alma mater, and the latest updates.

The Alumni Association is dedicated to promoting the continued excellence of the School and nurturing a lifelong spirit of support and engagement among alumni, friends, and the community. The mission is threefold:

1. Champion and advance the interests of your alma mater
2. Encourage and support current students on their journey to becoming physicians
3. Create meaningful programs and opportunities that connect alumni with each other and with the School of Medicine

My goal is to foster a vibrant, engaged alumni community — one that remains closely connected to the place where your medical journey began.

I always enjoy hearing from alumni and encourage you to stay in touch. If I can ever be of assistance, please feel free to stop by, call, or email.

Warmest wishes,

Linda

Associate Dean, Development and Alumni Affairs
