Alumni Association
This fall I had the pleasure of meeting the entering class of the Pritzker School of Medicine, first at the Clap-In, and then again at the White Coat Ceremony. Once again, I was struck by the excellence of our faculty and administrative leadership, and even more so by the promise of our bright and diverse student body. I trust that all students—years one through four— have enthusiastically and long settled back into campus and are knee-deep in books and labs. Keep working hard; you are the future of science and medicine!
I’m happy to have this forum to remind you of some of the many valuable ways in which the alumni body and alumni association staff are supporting you. In particular, I want to draw your attention to our Day in the Life experience which provides you the opportunity to shadow Chicago-area or California-based alumni in their professional lives during your spring break (March 20-24). We hope this experience will allow you some insight into what it might be like to practice in various specialties and in geographic areas. Please keep an eye out for an e-mail from Dr. Holly Humphrey inviting you to apply to this program. More information about this and other student-alumni programs can be found on the alumni association website section for student programs: http://bsdalumni.uchicago.edu/students/, or by calling the alumni association staff at 888-303-0030. I wish you all the best this quarter and continued good luck in your studies.
Regards,
