This year marks The University
of Texas School of Allied Health Sciences 40th Anniversary. UTMB SAHS became the
first allied health professions school in the Southwest when it opened its doors
in 1968. Since then, the school has graduated nearly 6,000 health care
practitioners, most of whom work in the health care industry. More importantly,
most SAHS alumni practice in Texas, fulfilling the school's goal to help meet
the ever-increasing health care needs of the state's residents.
40th Anniversary Gala
The 40th Anniversary Gala is scheduled for Saturday November 15, 2008 at
7:00 pm. This
is a MUST ATTEND event! The gala dinner will take place at the Moody Gardens
Hotel and Convention Center in Galveston. Moody Gardens is a great
destination for a weekend getaway and renowned for its great events and as a
vacation destination. Professors, Faculty, staff, and alumni from the four
decades, 1968-2008, will be invited.
