Pendergrass Symposium
Here you will find information related to this year's daytime symposium taking place on Friday, June 14, 2024.
The Pendergrass Symposium is celebrating more than four decades of research and innovation. Dr. Stanley Baum (Chairman of Radiology 1976-1996), started the Pendergrass Symposium tradition in 1976, wanting to mark the end of the academic year with a luminary speaker. Through the decades, the Department has invited world-renowned speakers to deliver the Pendergrass Lecture.
