5.2.07 STOWE COUPLE FUNDS LECTURESHIP ON MEDICAL QUALITY
A Stowe, Vermont, couple who have formed strong ties to the Department of Surgery at the UVM College of Medicine has funded a new annual lecture at the College with their recent pledge of $250,000 — the latest in their string of Campaign gifts totaling more than $5 million. Retired colorectal surgeon Samuel B. Labow, M.D. and his wife, Michelle D. Labow, a retired registered nurse, have pledged a series of current and estate gifts during the Campaign. Their initial gift funded the Samuel B. and Michelle D. Labow Green & Gold Professor in Colon & Rectal Surgery and the Labow Lectureship in Colon & Rectal Surgery. The new Shackford-Labow Lecture in Surgery is named in honor of Professor of Surgery Steven Shackford, M.D., who was chair of the Department of Surgery from 1990 to 2007. The inaugural Shackford-Labow lecture will take place on campus June 28.
