Ways to Give

Andrew M. Roberts, a Department of Physiology faculty member for nearly four decades and a nationally recognized researcher and educator in the area of physiology, passed away in February 2024. He taught physiological concepts to dental students with distinction for more than 20 years and served as the physiology course director in the School of Dentistry during much of this period. In response to a request from the Roberts family the Department of Physiology has agreed to develop an award to commemorate the contributions that Roberts made to the Department of Physiology, School of Medicine and the University of Louisville. 

The Andrew M. Roberts PhD Memorial Award for Excellence in Physiology is intended to reward academic achievement and encourage cooperative learning of physiology among dental students. The Award (a plaque and $350 cash prize) will be presented each year during the Annual School of Dentistry Awards Banquet, to a dental student who has excelled in the area of Physiology and has been most helpful to classmates in learning physiological concepts.
