Greensboro Alumni and Friends Reception

 

Thank you for joining us at the Greensboro Alumni and Friends event on February 8. It was a pleasure to meet you and share updates from the School of Medicine – we are proud to call you an alum and friend of UNC School of Medicine and hope that you always feel connected to our mission.

In addition to plenty of time for mingling, we were fortunate to hear from a number of speakers. Dr. Bert Fields and Dr. Brian Boies graciously shared their experiences with the history of UNC and Cone partnership in medical education. They discussed their experience in various regions, including Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheboro and Burlington, to name a few.

We also briefly discussed Roper Hall, the new home for medical education in Chapel Hill. It is open, and we are lucky enough to have moved into an office suite dedicated to alumni affairs within the amazing new facility. Reach out if you want to come by, or you can plan to join us during Spring Medical Alumni Weekend, where we will host an alumni-focused open house event on Saturday, April 27, among other activities.

Dr. Franklin Hatchett, our Medical Alumni Council President, also greeted the crowd and encouraged alumni, parents, and friends to get involved and give back. We have many volunteer opportunities available for those who wish to get connected with UNC School of Medicine.

 


Charlotte Alumni Reception and Campus Open House

 

Thanks to all who joined us at the Charlotte Alumni and Friends reception on January 25! It was a pleasure to meet you and share updates from the School of Medicine.

Along with plenty of time for mingling, we were fortunate to hear from a number of speakers. Dr. Kelley Lawrence and Dr. Keyona Oni graciously led a student panel of MD students who studied and trained at the Charlotte Novant Health Program. They shared about their experiences in Charlotte, including the curriculum and facilities at Novant Health Presbyterian.

We also talked about Roper Hall, the new home for medical education in Chapel Hill. It is open, which is open – and amazing. We are lucky enough to have moved an office suite dedicated to alumni affairs in this beautiful new facility. Reach out if you want to come by, or you can plan to join us during Spring Medical Alumni Weekend, where we will host an alumni-focused open house event on Saturday, April 27, among other activities.

Dr. Steve Paterno, a member of our Medical Alumni Council, also greeted the crowd and encouraged alumni, parents, and friends to get involved and give back. We have many volunteer opportunities available for those who wish to get connected with UNC School of Medicine.

Fall 2023 Medical Alumni Council (MAC) Meeting and Football Event

 

It was another beautiful weekend in Chapel Hill on October 13-14, 2023 as members of the Medical Alumni Council and alumni guests joined faculty and staff at the Carolina Club for the semi-annual business meeting and our annual football event at Kenan Stadium.

This year’s fall Medical Alumni Council meeting looked quite a bit different after a reorganization of the council that had begun in the spring of 2023. Members of the council in its new form not only included district representatives from across the state but also members of what used to be the separate National Loyalty Fund Committee. The NLFC was now a fully fledged subcommittee of the council, and its members were officially considered council members. Additionally, a new subcommittee known as the Awards/Nominating Committee was formed to vote on alumni awards nominees as well as members of the Medical Alumni Association who have been nominated to serve on the council. Following the day’s meetings and some productive discussions, attendees visited the new Medical Alumni Affairs office suite in Roper Hall for a brief tour and refreshments.

Saturday’s big event was the football game party at 7:30 PM in the South Terrace of Kenan Stadium. Registered alumni and friends gathered to watch UNC take on Miami, ending with UNC defeating the visiting team 41 to 31! We’re eagerly looking forward to the next big events coming up in Chapel Hill and throughout the US.
