Dear Friends, Alumni, Colleagues, and Guests:<br />

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the annual<br />

University of Maryland School of Medicine <strong>Gala</strong>. What<br />

an amazing journey this has been. On behalf of the entire<br />

be with us virtually to celebrate this special evening.<br />

We deeply value your partnership, support, and<br />

friendship.<br />

The theme for this evening is Vision and Victories. The<br />

School of Medicine conducts groundbreaking biomedical research, provides innovative<br />

medical education, and delivers advanced care, making a difference in<br />

the lives of those we train and treat, and many more around the world, today<br />

and for generations to come.<br />

Now in our third century, the University of Maryland School of Medicine ranks<br />

in the top tier of U.S. medical schools, and our academic community is poised to<br />

achieve even greater success. Your support will ensure that we are able to continue<br />

victoriously. Thank you for joining us on this journey.<br />
