Congratulations to our 2024 Dean’s Honor Day Award Winners!
Next Tuesday, April 16, we will celebrate excellence across our college at the 2024 Dean’s Honor Day celebration. I am really looking forward to ceremony. I know we will hear wonderful stories about these staff and faculty who exemplify the very best of the College of Medicine.
Please join us from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in Fred Smith Auditorium, 12th floor of the Jackson T. Stephens Spine and Neurosciences Institute. In addition to nearly 20 awards to faculty and staff, we will have photo gallery-style video tributes to our faculty who are receiving promotion and/or tenure this year. A reception will follow the ceremony. If you can’t make it in person, tune in to the ceremony livestream.
Meanwhile, I am very pleased to announce the faculty and staff who will receive awards at the ceremony. Please join me in congratulating these remarkable members of our team!
