Spring 2024 Medical Alumni Weekend

 

We had a great time celebrating Spring Medical Alumni Weekend. If you joined us, we hope you enjoyed connecting with friends and spending time at Roper Hall, our new home for medical education.

The weekend included many wonderful events, from our Milestone Reunion Celebration, to the Roper Hall Open House, with tours of cutting-edge technology and a wealth of student resources throughout this forward-looking hub for learning.

If you missed the weekend, please visit us soon in Chapel Hill! You are always welcome here.

 

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.

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.
