Throughout the year, alumni have a myriad of opportunities to return to campus and speak to current students. One in particular, the Alumni-to-Student Knowledge (ASK) program, provides a unique forum where students can discuss education, career and lifestyle choices with alumni in a casual and intimate Zoom or hybrid setting. The ASK program is moderated by Alumni Association board members Dr. Paul F. Miskovitz (M.D. '75), Dr. Shari Midoneck (M.D. ’89) and Dr. Sharyn Miskovitz (M.D. ’06).
