About the Forum
Body
The Zeigler Research Forum was established in 2010 to honor Jim Zeigler, who passed away in 1984 from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma six months after graduating from UVM with a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. The forum continues to celebrate his legacy by promoting research and innovation in the health sciences.
