The RISE Award
The mission of the Stanford Medicine Alumni Association is to Reach, Inspire, Serve and Engage Stanford Medicine alumni. We promote and celebrate excellence, diversity, and collegiality. Our programming and services are designed to encourage alumni, faculty, and student involvement, working together to support and to benefit the School of Medicine, Stanford Hospital, and Stanford University.
