Phil Yankovich and scholarship solicitations
Phil Yankovich of the Advancement Office attended this meeting today to discuss the scholarship solicitation and inquire from faculty if they would be interested in assisting in the annual funding of scholarships. The Annual Fall Event ‘Faculty Staff Campaign’ is about to begin. Dr. Stern is the Chairman and Dr. Viccellio is co-chair for the SOM this year. He also mentioned The Martin Liebowitz Endowment Fund and stated that Dr. Tompkins is a committee member. This is the first time this fund is being formed by the SOM to build an endowment in Dr. Liebowitz’s name. The proceeds of this endowment will go to the 4th year medical school students focusing on Primary Care and Internal Medicine. Letters will be sent out late October promoting this and several hundred other funds. They are also in the process of creating an electronic newsletter/website for alumni to keep informed on what is happening.
Dr. Williams reminded committee of the Faculty Retreat being held on December 10, 2005, which will include the reports from the Individual Task Forces and some recommendations for this committee. |
