M
ore than 450 alumni and their
guests participated in the 2018
Medical School Reunion Weekend,
April 27-29. Hailing from 36 states,
nearly 260 alumni of the UVA School
of Medicine returned to Charlottesville
to celebrate a class reunion. This year's
reunion gathered alumni from classes
ending in 3 and 8.
Throughout the weekend, nearly
50 events took place. They included:
a School of Medicine update by
Dean David S. Wilkes, MD; the
induction of the Class of 1968 into
the Robley Dunglison Society; a mixer
for African-American alumni and
students; family-friendly hikes; and
the presentation of the Walter Reed
Distinguished Achievement Awards to
Richard G. Azizkhan, MD, Res. '83 and
Joachim J. Tenuta, MD '87.
To commemorate the occasion,
many alumni made gifts in honor
of their reunions. More than $5.1
million was donated to the Annual
Fund and/or class funds of alumni in
a reunion year. The Class of 1958 had
the highest giving percentage at 56
percent, and the Class of 1968 raised
the most for the School of Medicine,
with $4.7 million in pledges and gifts.
