UT honors John M. Howard, M.D.
The University of Toledo has established the Dr. John M. Howard Endowed Professorship of Pancreatic Surgery to honor the man who has spent more than 34 years at MCO/UT and more than half a century in the field of medicine.
The Blade has a story about Dr. Howard in the front page of its second section today. Dr. Howard will join UT President Lloyd Jacobs and family and friends Friday, Aug. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Lucas Room of the Dana Conference Center on the HSC as UT formally announces the professorship.
CORRECTION: A caller correctly points out my initial entry was wrong regarding the recognition event. While there was a birthday party for Dr. Howard Aug. 26, the ceremony recognizing the newly established endowed professorship is this Friday. It has been corrected above. My thanks to those keeping me on my toes.
