This year’s theme is Vision & Victories, and the evening will highlight exciting accomplishments at Maryland as well as pay tribute to our dean, E. Albert Reece, who is stepping down from the helm after a 16-year tenure—third-longest in the school’s history. Under his leadership the school has experienced tremendous growth in its core mission of providing quality, innovative patient care, conducting groundbreaking research, and educating medical students to become world-renowned clinicians, scientists, and academicians. The program also honors some of the school’s Illustrious alumni.
