2021 Norma Berryhill Distinguished Lecture
2021-11-18 16:00 - 17:00 | NC
Craig Fletcher, DVM, PhD, Professor and Vice Chair in the UNC School of Medicine’s Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Director of the Division of Comparative Medicine, Assistant Dean of Animal Research Resources, and Associate Vice Chancellor of Research, will deliver this year’s Norma Berryhill Distinguished Lecture.
Please mark your calendars for the lecture, which will be held virtually on Thursday, November 18th. The event will open at 3:45 p.m. with the lecture scheduled to commence at 4:00 p.m.
More details are available here. We hope you’ll make plans to join this exciting event.

About the Berryhill Lecture:
The Norma Berryhill Distinguished Lecture began in 1985. Established to honor the medical school’s “most able scientists and scholars,” the lectureship is named after the late Norma Berryhill, whose late husband, Dr. Walter Reece Berryhill, was dean of the school from 1941 to 1964. Along with her husband, she is considered the co-founder of UNC’s four-year School of Medicine. While honoring an eminent member of the School of Medicine faculty, the Norma Berryhill Distinguished Lecture series serves as an occasion to welcome new faculty members in an academic convocation and to further the sense of community created and nurtured by Mrs. Berryhill.
