The annual alumni reunion weekend is in the books, and it provided the perfect chance to catch up with classmates, relive memories and make new ones. Classes from across the school's nearly 50-year history were represented and enjoyed a Friday evening reception, Saturday school tour and Saturday evening dinner and reception. |
There's nothing quite like Match Day, and this year more than 90 students found out where they will write the next chapter in their medical careers. |
