The Layton Rikkers Surgical Society is proud to celebrate the Forward Award on behalf of the University of Wisconsin Department of Surgery. This award recognizes outstanding alumni contributions by current or former residents, faculty, and fellows of the University of Wisconsin Department of Surgery. Nominations are typically due in August and reviewed by a selection committee.
The Forward Award is presented annually, in fall, at a special alumni society dinner held during the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress. The 2025 event was held on Monday, Oct. 6 at Taureaux Tavern in Chicago. Check our alumni events page for regular updates and information.
