The University of Kansas School of Medicine will celebrate its centennial anniversary Saturday in conjunction with the school’s annual alumni weekend at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Missy Heidrick, senior coordinator for alumni relations, said the weekend would center on alumni reunions.
“It’s a big celebration night with cocktails, dinner, dancing and a program to honor our award recipients,” Heidrick said.
Seven alumni, two faculty members and two retired faculty members will be given awards.
Heidrick said the award recipients were nominated by individuals outside the school, reviewed by a committee, then voted on by the alumni association and the nursing, medical and allied health alumni boards.
The School of Medicine celebrates the alumni weekend annually, but Heidrick said this year would be the largest alumni celebration the school has ever had.
She said more than 800 alumni and University friends were expected to attend.
She said there has been more interest because the school is also celebrating its centennial anniversary.
