Inspired by Professor Randy Pauch's "Last Lecture", Medical Student Council established the annual Legacy Lecture Series during the 2008-2009 academic year.  The Legacy Lecture is not only an opportunity for us to recognize retired faculty who have made significant contributions to the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, but also an opportunity for these distinguished speakers to share a meaningful message that will inspire future physicians. 

When: Wednesday, March 28, 2012

What Time: 5 PM

Where: HEB Room 103 

Who: Dr. Dorinda Shelley, M.D. 

A reception with light refreshments will follow the lecture. Please direct any questions to medstudentcouncil@utoledo.edu.
