Nearly 150 students, faculty and alumni gathered in Hiebert Lounge on Dec. 4 to mingle, network and spread holiday cheer. Although this event was established in 2016, this was the first time that alumni participated in the joint holiday mixer \u201cWine\u201d Down After Rounds.<\/p>\n
Student musical performances by the Doctors’ Notes entertained the gathering. The group includes members Tinu Bello ’20; Erin Carter ’21; Karthik Kovuru ’20; Al Nadjarian ’17; Tim Nguyen ’21; Anjeli Son ’20; Justin Siu ’20; Jeffrey Wang ’20; and Yelu Zhang ’20.<\/p>\n
Radial Groove also performed, including these BUSM members: Caroline Apovian, MD; Anand Devaiah, MD; Rafael Ortega, MD; Andrea Alonso ’20; Liam Conway-Pearson ’20; Matt Kaufmann ’19; and Ben Weaver ’21.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were happy to be a part of this event and thank the students for inviting alumni to participate,\u201d said Associate Dean for Alumni Affairs Jean Ramsey, MD ’90, MPH ’08 . \u201cAlumni appreciate the opportunity to meet current students and share their stories. It was a fun time for all! I loved the a Capella version of \u2018Hello\u2019 by Adele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alumni Association board members Dallas Reed, MD ’10 and Jason Sherer, MD ’16, agreed it was a great opportunity and thought it would be good to try twice a year.<\/p>\n
In addition, faculty were recognized by student-voted awards prompted by the Student Committee on Medical School Affairs (SCOMSA), as a testament to the exceptional faculty who teach, guide and mentor throughout the year.<\/p>\n
