BULLETINS

Correction

In last week's issue, the School of Medicine's Teaching Awards story included an inaccuracy about Dr. William Ming Fu Lee, associate professor of medicine, Hematololgy/Oncology. He is a member of the Cell and Molecular Biology (CAMB) Graduate Group, not the chair of CAMB. We regret the error.
