More than 250 students, family members, faculty, alumni, and friends attended the second annual Student Scholarship & Awards Brunch on May 15. For many years the presention of these awards occurred during pre-commencement convocation, but the growing numbers of awards over the past few years forced the administration to dedicate time for a separate ceremony last year. The event, held at the M&T Pavilion of the Hippodrome Theatre, recognized the medical school’s most accomplished students as well as our donors who make the awards possible. Again this year, the event was supported by the medical school and Medical Alumni Association
.
Attendees included Mehtap Aygun, ’80, who established the Dr. Jeremy Hallisey Prize for Compassion and Humanistic Qualities in Anesthesiology; Mary Dorcas Clark, ’45, whose scholarship bears her name; Benito Chan, MD, organizer and supporter of the School of Medicine General Scholarship; Theodore Patterson, ’62, supporter of the Lois Young-Thomas Memorial Scholarship and Leadership Guild; and Mrs. Carolyn McGuire-Frenkil, who along with husband James Frenkil, ’37, established the Dr. James and Carolyn Frenkil Award.

Joseph Yeh, ’08, addressed the donors by saying, “For all of us, I thank you, sincerely and repeatedly . . . I applaud and encourage all donors to continue your commitment to the training of future physicians at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We are a wonderful investment.”

The medical school’s society for major donors—the John Beale Davidge Alliance—celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. And during the annual luncheon on May 1 at the Hippodrome Theatre, more than 100 alumni, faculty, and friends were recognized for their recent philanthropic support to the medical school. There are now more than 850 members of the Alliance. During the luncheon, members were treated to an economic update by Bill Stone, senior vice president and chief investment strategist for The PNC Financial Services Group.
