FACULTY OF MEDICINE MEETING & NEW FACULTY
RECEPTION
Friday & Saturday, October 28-29, 2005
When Dr. Valerie M. Parisi joined UTMB last October as
the first female Dean of the School
of Medicine, one of the first university functions she attended was
a student scholarship luncheon. The fall event allowed scholarship
recipients in the Schools of Medicine,
Nursing and
Allied Health Sciences and the
Graduate School of Biomedical
Sciences to meet the individuals who established their awards. The
event made such a lasting impression on Dr. Parisi that it moved her to
establish a scholarship in memory of her father, who died two years ago
at age 87. The William S. Parisi Endowed Scholarship will be awarded to
outstanding UTMB medical students who need financial assistance to
continue their education. Scholarship support is especially appreciated
among medical students--the average debt after four years of study at a
U.S. medical school is approximately $120,000.
