W.B. and M.H. Chung Research Days

• Doctors Wally Chung and Madeleine Chung recognized in the early 1990's that the Department of Surgery lacked a department-wide research forum so they endowed a fund to support what we call the Chung Research Day.

The Chung Research Day has become the premier event of the academic calendar and is the one and only time each year the Dept of Surgery gathers as a whole to celebrate its research endeavors.

More information on the Drs. Chung's contribution to academic life and to the community
can be found at: THE CHUNG COLLECTION
