• The Chauncey D. Leake and Elizabeth W. Leake Lecture & Student Essay Award in medical ethics and humanities in the health professions

  Fund Number: 604064

  This fund was established November 3, 1978. It envisioned a lecture every other year and a student essay contest every other year. After the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities was founded in 2013 we were asked to manage this fund. We have made it an annual lecture and an annual student essay contest (with the student presenting the winning paper at our annual conference). Currently, this fund is very modest and we are currently hoping to increase the endowed funds to make this a sustainable offering of the Center.
