Dean’s Corner
Margaret L. Bradley 1979—2004
Dear Students, Faculty and Alumni:
Holly J. Humphrey, MD
Professor of Medicine and
Dean for Medical Education
I would like to offer a warm welcome to those alumni returning to our campus to celebrate Reunion Weekend 2007, and send a heartfelt congratulations to our outstanding graduates who will soon be joining the ranks of our distinguished alumni. This issue focuses on the achievements of our alumni and 2007 graduates and the generous way that our alumni continue to interact with our students and our school.
As our medical school class of 2007 prepares to graduate, one member of the class, Margaret Bradley, will not be with them. As you may remember, Margaret Bradley died in 2004 while hiking in the Grand Canyon. Prior to matriculating at the Pritzker School of Medicine, Margaret graduated with honors from the University of Chicago with a double major in the biological and earth sciences. She worked as a research assistant for Carole Ober, PhD finished the Boston Marathon 13th among American women, and played for six years with the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra and four years with the University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Margaret would have graduated from the Pritzker School of Medicine this June with the Class of 2007.
To contribute to the Margaret Bradley Scholarship Fund, please email gift officer, Andrew Welch or phone (773) 834-2060.
In honor of her memory and achievements, I am inviting our faculty and alumni to contribute to the Margaret L. Bradley Scholarship Fund created to honor her memory. Not only will your gift help to memorialize Margaret’s life, but you will be helping us create a strong endowed fund providing annual scholarship support for our medical students. Because Margaret would have graduated this year, her family will be joining us for graduation week in June.
Gratefully,
Holly J. Humphrey, MD
Professor of Medicine and Dean for Medical Education
