Dear 1983 Wayne State Medical School Alumi,
I want you to know your classmate, Walter Wong, passed away in September 2021 from esophogeal cancer at age 65. Walter never stopped talking about all the great people he met in medschool and many remained friends and in touch with him over the years. Walt would have loved to attend the 2023 Class reunion and I am sure he will be right there with you in spirit. Have a fun filled wonderful reunion - enjoy every minute!
On behalf of Walter Wong from his wife Janet

Class of 1983 Reunion Donation
As we celebrate our 40th reunion, our class will make a gift to the Medical Alumni Annual Fund to honor the legacy of the Class of 1983. This legacy has the power to transform the lives of WSU medical students both present and prospective by providing program support for medical students engaged in the Detroit community, enhancing multi-cultural engagement, furthering student health and well-being and creating a positive attachment to the medical school. By making a reunion gift, you contribute to this legacy of support while investing in exceptional physicians-in-training who will be the next leaders in medicine.
You are encouraged to make this gift to the Medical Alumni Annual Fund before reunion weekend. Each classmate's gift makes a difference, and together, you can make sure the Class of 1983 has the largest collective gift in this long-awaited triple reunion year. Through your loyalty and support, not only can you surpassy our class giving goal, but can also make an immediate impact on current SOM students our future colleagues and alumni!
