Honoring a Sister, Advancing Brain Science

On June 27, Northwestern University Life Trustee Julie Uihlein and 20 members of her family gathered in Method Atrium at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine to celebrate Julie’s visionary gift to establish the Kathryn Aring Piper Center for Frontotemporal Cognitive Disorders. The center is named after Julie’s late sister and given in honor of Drs. Sandra Weintraub and M. Marsel Mesulam, faculty leaders in the Mesulam Institute for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease.
