Congratulations to our 2023 Dean’s Honor Day Award Winners!
It is always a pleasure to share examples of the excellent work being done across the college through our weekly Accolades. This week, I am very pleased to announce the recipients of awards to be presented at the 2023 Dean’s Honor Day celebration next week. These faculty and staff members exemplify the expertise, hard work and commitment to service that make our college a vital institution for our state and those we serve. The event is a tribute to the outstanding work and service of all COM team members.
Please join us for the celebration from 4:00-5:00 p.m. next Tuesday, April 25, in Fred Smith Auditorium, 12th floor of the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute. We will also present video tributes to more than 70 faculty members who are receiving promotion and/or tenure this year. A reception will follow the ceremony. The event will also be livestreamed on the College of Medicine website.
Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees!
