Medical School class reunion 2016
Hundreds of UT Southwestern Medical School alumni and their families were on campus in late September for the annual reunion activities.
The event began with a Sept. 22 dinner honoring the Class of 1966, which celebrated its 50-year anniversary, followed with an evening reception on Sept. 23 to greet all classes as a group.
Bernard Chaiken, M.D., graduated from UT Southern Medical School in 1949. He hasn't seen the campus in more than 60 years. Until now.
On Sept. 23-24, presentations were made by campus leaders prior to many of the individual classes gathering in the evening for their own private reunions. Many of alumni and their guests visited William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital and Dr. Donald Seldin Plaza, with its life-size sculptural rendering of the UT System Professor of Internal Medicine and Chairman Emeritus of Internal Medicine. Dr. Seldin taught many of the members of the returning classes.
In addition to the social activities, reunion attendees participated in a variety of presentations, including a discussion and progress report of the new medical school curriculum that came into force with the beginning of fall 2015 classes.
