New issue of RadyUM magazine marks medical college anniversary
The cover story of the new issue of RadyUM magazine focuses on the Max Rady College of Medicine’s celebration of a milestone: its 140th anniversary.
Dr. Tito Daodu, a UM medical alum and pediatric surgeon, is featured on the cover as the emcee of last fall’s 140th anniversary gala, attended by 400 supporters of the medical college. A UM fund established to mark the anniversary has raised $96,000 in support of bursaries for medical and graduate students.
