WELCOME

The Rockford Medical Alumni Association steps in where the College left off – giving graduates the opportunity to stay connected and join a family of committed alumni.

The mission of the Rockford Medical Alumni Association is to maintain relationships with graduates, and facilitate alumni interest and participation in College activities.

The Medical Alumni Board consists of medical alumni and graduates of the Family Practice Residency program and directs the activities of the Rockford Medical Alumni Association. The Alumni Board sponsors student programs, selects the Distinguished Alumni Award and the Student Travel Award recipients, and communicates campus alumni news and information.

2002-03 BOARD OFFICERS:

Dennis Norem, MD ’79, President
Richard Londo, MD, FPR ’75, Vice President
Glenn Netto, MD ’80, Secretary/Treasurer

A NEW PARTNERSHIP
The Rockford Medical Alumni Association became a Constituent Alumni Association of the University of Illinois Alumni Association (UIAA) in January 2002. The Alumni Board unanimously approved becoming its own Constituent Association apart from the College of Medicine at Chicago, since many Rockford graduates identify strongly with the Rockford site, not necessarily with Chicago.

Constituent Associations are formal extensions and valued partners of the University of Illinois Alumni Association. The benefits of this direct connection with the UIAA includes expanded services for Rockford alumni.
