Medical Alumni Reunion 2012 This fall, medical alumni will be treated to the return of reunion weekend. After a few years of experimenting with a single day reunion event, which coincided with UCLA Alumni Day, Reunion 2012 will have two days of events including the traditional Friday night welcome reception and the Saturday night all-class reception followed by individual class dinners. Alumni from the reunion classes are encouraged to attend all of the weekend events which will be held at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, Dr. S. Jerome and Judith D. Tamkin Auditorium and the UCLA Faculty Center. Participants will have the opportunity to take a tour of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and engage in lively discussion at the Distinguished Speakers Symposium. Reunion alumni should look for an invitation in late June. The complete list of events and prices, including special early-bird rates, are available now. More info » |
