Let's help fund a scholarship for the next year

I have confirmed with Dr. Rivkin that grand rounds will be over at 1pm on Tuesday. For those students who have Ambulatory I orientation, that
will begin at 3pm. I just wanted to clarify this for everyone.
Also, I wanted to give everyone a heads up about something I will be announcing on Tuesday during Grand Rounds.

There is an 8 year ongoing tradition that the graduating class funds a scholarship and the scholarship goes to a pharmacy student the
following year. Throughout the semester, Tram and I will be collecting funds. The usual goal is $1000 or more if it is raised. Patrick
Campbell has informed me of this ongoing tradition and I would hate to break it. Unfortunately, the gift amount is $20 and it is a great deal
to ask. I am aware of this and for that, I deeply apologize. We will be collecting at every grand rounds so please do not think you must
have it ready come Tuesday. Also, you have the right to contribute or not to contribute. It is not mandatory. I wanted to make the clear.

On a positive note, the Class of 2010 Scholarship will be announced at Commencement by the Dean and for each student that contributes, his or
her name will be inscribed on a plaque that is outside Patrick's office, across from the Dean's Office. I think it is wonderful that a hard working pharmacy student like ourselves will be rewarded a scholarship from the Class of 2010 next year.

So on that note, I will be collecting beginning Tuesday. We will be unable to pass an envelope around because I must write down each
student's name. Please see myself or Tram during rounds and we will make sure your name has been added to the list.

Have a great weekend,
Jessica
