SCHOOL OF MEDICINE RECOGNIZES 18 FACULTY MEMBERS
AT AWARD DINNER

Awards Honor Basic Science

‘Youngsters’

t the dean’s commencement dinner, instead of one “Teacher of the Year,” 18 longtime faculty members were honored for their commitment to medical education—more than 600 years in total.

All of those recognized are members of the basic science faculty. The “newest” faculty joined the School of Medicine in 1974; the most senior faculty member—Irwin Berman, Ph.D.—joined the school 45 years ago in 1959.
