Half-day symposium honors the late Gregory MacEwen

In remembrance of E. Gregory MacEwen, who served as head of the oncology section of the School of Veterinary Medicine until his untimely death in May 2001, colleagues have organized a special half-day symposium for Friday, Sept. 26, at the Monona Terrace Convention Center.

The event, which brings together oncologists from across the nation, features comparative cancer research and its implications. It is open to human and veterinary oncologists, as well as technicians, nurses, residents and students.

Registration is free, thanks to a $10,000 program sponsorship by Gary and Cammy Seamans, current and past members of the school’s board of visitors, and former clients of MacEwen. Participants are invited to share memories of MacEwen during the luncheon.

Registration is requested by Friday, Sept. 12. Program details or registration: Sandy Manke, 265-9692, or http://www.vetmed.wisc.edu.
