The reproductive health SC was originally started more than a decade ago by former Brown Family Medicine residency director, Dr. Melissa Nothnagle. Continuing a legacy of having a family medicine doc as one of the co-directors.

Founded on the eve of the American Revolution, Brown University (then called Rhode Island College), has been connected to generations whose lives were shaped by military service and sacrifice for more than 250 years.

Across campus, memorials and monuments honor members of the Brown community who gave their lives in service to the United States — from Soldiers Memorial Gate, dedicated to the 42 Brown community members lost in World War I, to “War Memorial” on the Ruth J. Simmons Quadrangle honoring alumni who perished during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.

On , Brown University remembers those whose lives were lost in service to their country, and reflects on the enduring impact of their sacrifice.
