2012 Honored Alumni and Alumnus of the Year Announced
Since 1947, the Alumni Association has given out Honored Alumni awards and an Alumnus of the Year award. When choosing Honored Alumni, we look at contributions to medical education, medical missionary pursuits, medical research, community service, government and military service, support of the goals and objectives of the School of Medicine of Loma Linda University, and support of the Alumni Association. This year we selected six alumni to honor: Janesta Janzen ’62; Pierce Moore, Jr., ’44-B; George Petti, Jr., ’62; Weldon Schumacher ’62; David Small ’62; and Larry Thomas ’74. When choosing the Alumnus or Alumna of the Year, we not only use the same selection criteria as the Honored Alumni, we also look for a major contribution or accomplishment in the field of medicine or the humanities which brings credit to his or her profession, school, and church. Only one person is selected for this award each year. We are excited to announce that Richard Hart ’70 was selected as the 2012 Alumnus of the Year.

Hubert Watkins ’62 Receives 2012 Iner Sheld-Ritchie Presidential Award
In 2004, the Alumni Association created an award to recognize individuals who embody the mission and vision of the Alumni Association, School of Medicine of Loma Linda University—the Iner Sheld-Ritchie Presidential Award. This year’s awardee, Hubert Watkins ‘62, is not only an individual of exemplary character and compassion but also a "self-appointed" ambassador for the Alumni Association whether it be on the golf course, on the ski slopes of Mammoth or on a cruise ship. Over the years, he has served as president of the Alumni Association, chair of the Holding Fund, chair of the APC Governing Board, chair of the Alumni Fund, and a member of the board of directors of the Alumni Association and the Strategic Planning Committee. He has also represented the Alumni Association on the Loma Linda University board of directors. It was our pleasure to present Watkins with this year’s award at the 80th APC Gala on March 5.

Why have an Alumni Association?
The Alumni Association exists to serve the alumni, and our future alumni—the students, and the School of Medicine of Loma Linda University while promoting excellence in world-wide health care. We do that in a variety of ways, including:
- Providing opportunities for fellowship, scientific exchange, and continuing education among our alumni and affiliates
- Promoting communication between our members and the School of Medicine, and giving our alumni a voice on campus
- Supporting our medical students through programs like our lending library and mission assistance
- Supporting our School in financial and other ways (since we begin in 1932 we’ve raised more than $30 million for the School of Medicine)
We are committed to maintaining a mutually-beneficial relationship between the School of Medicine and the alumni community. We endeavor to foster loyalty and financial support for the School of Medicine while serving the needs of our members and representing their interests on campus and in the medical community. We are able to do all this through the support of our dues-paying members. If you haven’t joined yet, please consider becoming a dues-paying member of the Alumni Association today and experience the benefits of membership!
