President’s Update  



Medical Alumni Association President Dr. Bruce Deschere

This is my final Alum Notes message as association president. The Medical Alumni Association is a wonderful asset to the school, and we are all so proud of this institution. For over a century, thousands of graduates have provided outstanding care to literally millions of patients.  Wayne State University’s reputation as a great place to learn patient care has become national: 10 percent of all medical school applicants include Wayne State among their choices. The school also has earned an impressive research reputation, reaching the top tier in national rankings. Now, more than ever, remember the wonderful education you received and help us to sustain its quality.

Dedicated staff, association board members, volunteers, and the generosity of our alumni have made the past year notably productive. Congratulations to Merle “Pete” Rydesky for leading this year’s successful half-million plus Telefund. Pete also has proposed several excellent suggestions for implementation next year.

The Alumni Association offices have relocated to 101 E. Alexandrine, Detroit, 48201, near the main entrance to Harper Hospital. Dean Crissman has provided us spacious new quarters (with windows). 

I hope to see many of you at upcoming spring events.


Bruce Deschere, MD, ‘77
President, 
WSU Medical Alumni Association
