A Message from the Dean

We are taking great strides forward as we rebuild ourSchool and position ourselves for the future. We continueto attract outstanding student applicants and our facultyranks have been strengthened by gifted teachers,exceptional clinicians, and accomplished scientists. Ourfoundation is strong and our students are learning how toprovide cutting-edge and compassionate care for ourpatients. While there is a great deal of public discussionabout the fate of the future LSU hospital I can assure youthat it remains on track. As we are all aware this facility iscritical to our primary mission which is the education and training ofthe future physicians that provide the majority of healthcare to ourcitizenry. Without it Louisiana will continue to send many of its “bestand brightest” to our neighboring states. This facility will provide thenucleus for the rebirth of the medical corridor. Once again LSU willbe recognized as “the academic health science center” in the region – adestination that will attract both physicians and patients who seek thebest in academic medicine and healthcare. In closing, I am verygrateful for all that the alumni have done and continue to do for theSchool. Without such ongoing support, our School would not becompetitive in today’s environment. Together we will continue tobuild on our historical strengths and tradition of excellence in medicaleducation.

Sincerely,

Steve Nelson, MDDeanLSUHSC School of Medicine

Alumni Association Stages Third Annual Fall Gala

More than 600 alumni, faculty and Association guests gathered at theHilton Hotel Grand Ballroom on October 17, 2008, to celebrate theAssociation’s Third Annual Fall Gala.

With the Alex Peña Quartet (Alex Peña, Sasha Masakowski, JesseMorrow, Paul Thibodeaux) as the warm-up act and Vince Vance andthe Valiants as the main attraction, “Purple, Gold, Rock and Roll”became a huge fun-filled success.

50’s costumes were the order of the day with poodle skirts, andoutlandish tuxedo jackets in abundance. Several Elvis impersonatorswere spotted along with some more sedately dressed attendees.

It was an open bar, buffet-styledining, and bunny hops lead byVince Vance himself, and a number of alumni and faculty lured onto the stage by theValiants, in this case the nubile female Valiants, for group sing-alongs.

It was a silent auction of 199 items and a live auction of a dozen more including majorpieces of LSU memorabilia contributed by Jessica Montegudo (’76) and Jack Andonie(’62) respectively. Major pieces of art were donated by A. J. Friedman(’76), WarrenPlauché (’57), “Hank” Stoer (’43), Donna Klein, Cathi Fontenot (’84), Sam Scurria(’61), Mary Ann deBoisblanc, Jeff Joseph (’86), George Rodrigue, Hal Bienvenu (’79)and Mike Schutté (’79), Dr. and Mrs. Hal Stokes, Dr. and Mrs. James Leonard (’63),Dr. and Mrs. Henry Peltier (’90), Dr. and Mrs. Lee J. Monlezun (’69), and Dr. and Mrs. Chuck Schibler (’92). In all more than 140 individuals or businesses contributed to theauction.

The evening was a huge financial success, netting over $100,000 for the Center forAdvanced Practice. It closed with a duet by Russell Klein (’59) and Vince Vance biddingthe guests goodbye with a rendition of the sign off song of the “Mickey Mouse Club.”

Plans are well underway for Fall Gala IV scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2009, at the Hilton Hotel.

The paper, AnNF-kB-sensitive micro RNA-146a-mediatedinflammatory circuit in Alzheimer’s disease andin stressed human brain cells, was published inthe November 14, 2008, issue of The Journalof Biological Chemistry. Dr. Lukiw’s lab at theNeuroscience Center of Excellence has shownthat this microRNA, called miRNA-146a, isfound in increased amounts in stressed human brain cells and in Alzheimer’s disease, and that it plays a crucial role in the regulation ofinflammation and disease-relatedneuropathology thought to be integral to theAlzheimer’s disease process.

Dear All,

I am extremely honored to follow in the footsteps of RussellKlein (’59) as Associate Dean for Alumni Affairs. My officialfirst day was January 5, 2009. Russell has been graciouslyhelping me transition into my new role. His shoes will be toughto fill. As you may know, Russell assumed the position inJanuary 1985 when his predecessor, Dr. Richard Paddison,retired.

Under his leadership over 23 million dollars have been raised,the Committee of 100 has grown from 64 members to almost

700, and the Isidore Cohn Student Learning Center and Russell Klein Center forAdvanced Practice have been built to advance the educational mission of the School of Medicine. Additionally, the 500 Club was born and serves to enhance the BasicScience Departments.

Russell is completing his book on the history of the LSU School of Medicine andwill continue to preserve the institutional memory as he has done for all these years. Also, he will continue to serve the Health Sciences Center as Director of SpecialProjects.

My plans for this year include outreach trips to various alumni groups throughoutthe state, development of an electronic communication capability (email list serve)and a commitment to expansion of membership in the Committee of 100.

I hope to see many of you on these road trips, renew old relationships, andestablish new ones. The Office of Alumni Affairs exists to support the School ofMedicine and nurture its relationships with Alumni. Please do not hesitate tocommunicate your needs and ideas about how this office can serve you better.

I would also like to challenge my Class of 1984 to attend our 25th Reunion thisyear and set an attendance record. I look forward with great anticipation to seeingyou in June and again in November at our 4th Annual Fall Gala.

Sincerely,

Cathi Fontenot (’84)Associate Dean
