A Message from the President of the Medical & Biological Sciences Alumni Association Russ Zajtchuk; SB ‘60, MD ‘63
Dear Faculty, Students and Alumni:
Russ Zajtchuk; SB ‘60, MD ‘63
Spring has finally arrived here in Chicago, which can only mean one thing—it is once again time for the annual Medical School Reunion. Alumni from around the world will be heading back to Hyde Park to reconnect with old friends, reminisce about their times together and see what has happened here at Pritzker since they have graduated.
Students, I invite you to join in the festivities and attend the Student-Alumni Picnic coming up Saturday, June 2nd. The picnic will start at noon and be held in the Wyler Courtyard. Lunch is free to all current Pritzker students and hospital residents. We would love to see you there and hear about your experience at Pritzker today. This special event will also give you the opportunity to mingle with some distinguished alumni and learn about their lives since leaving campus.
To RSVP for the Student-Alumni Picnic, please email the alumni association staff or phone (773) 702-0655. I hope to see you there.
Warmest Regards,
Russ Zajtchuk; SB ‘60, MD ‘63
