Mark Rosenthal Memorial Annual Senior Prize
An annual fund created in memory of Mark Rosenthal, Class of 1976. Following graduation from Union, with a degree in Biology, Mark attended the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and later became a renown cardiologist practicing in Dresher, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia. As a student, Mark was well known for his sense of humor, keen mind, and commitment to Union. He continued this dedication and commitment throughout his life as a community activist, husband and father and it is in recognition of these qualities this prize is established.
The Mark Rosenthal ’76 Memorial Annual Prize will be awarded to a senior at Union College who best mirrors the attributes of Mark Rosenthal by being involved in Union College community activities, a student in good academic standing, and planning to attend medical school after graduation. The recipient will be chosen by the Chair of the Biology Department.
