Katz is building the future of medical education, research, and community impact—and you are part of it.

Join us on Thursday, March 6, from 11 AM – 2 PM in the Maurice J. Stone, MD Commons for Inspiring Excellence Splash Day, an open-house event where you can:
✅ Explore Inspiring Excellence 2024-2029, Katz’s bold roadmap for the future.
✅ Meet the champions and workgroup members leading the charge.
✅ See our progress in action and share your input as we continue shaping what’s next.
✅ Enjoy light snacks, coffee, and tea—plus chances to win exciting giveaways!

This strategic plan isn’t just words on a page—it’s a living, breathing effort that will propel Katz forward, and we want every voice in our community to be part of it. The dean will drop by throughout the event, and there will be engagement activities to connect with colleagues and learn more about the plan’s key initiatives.

Stop by, sharpen your pencil, and help shape the future of Katz!
