Faculty Assembly Report
Stefany Primeaux, M.D.
Faculty Assembly President 2020-2021
The August Faculty Assembly meeting was held virtually. We began this month's meeting by thanking Dr. Sanjay Kamboj for his service as Faculty Assembly President (2019-2020) and welcoming our new clinical science and basic science delegates. We are looking forward to having our newest delegates join us for the next three years. An important aspect of this month's meeting was to elect new officers. Dr. Pinki Prasad was elected President-Elect and Mr. Jessie Guidry was elected Secretary-Treasurer.
The Assembly was updated on the impact of COVID-19 on the campus, including:
