Dr. James Herndon served as the Master of Ceremonies. The evening started with the presentation of Senior Thesis Day Awards. Dr. Herndon thanked Dr. Frank Eismont for coming to Boston and being the Osgood Visiting Professor.
The Barrett Family Prize for the Best Basic Research Paper was awarded to Jeremy Moses. The Best Clinical Research Paper was presented to Dr. Travis Matheney.
Dr. Herndon, Michelle Barrett Dew (daughter of alumni resident and donator of funds, Jack Barett) and Dr. Frank Eismont presented the awards.
Next, Drs. Mark Gebhardt, Thomas Thornhill, James Kasser, and Andrew Freiberg announced the names of the graduating fellows.
This was followed by the announcement of the Golden Apple Award to Dr. David Lhowe. Dr. Lhowe was unable to attend the function on this night. However, the Class of 2005 went up as a group onto the stage to announce his name. Dr. Lhowe has been a great teacher and role model for generations of residents training in the Harvard program and was well deserving of this honor.
