鈥淒r. William Emery is the quintessential `lifelong learner.鈥" LMC Professor听Emeritus K. Sundaram recalls the contributions Dr. Emery made in his classes. "He has
been in every one of my courses, some more than once, and always made the class听sessions more lively by drawing other students into the conversation,鈥 Sundaram
stated. 鈥淢ore than the class sessions, I enjoyed our conversations outside of the听classroom where he was always trying to `open new doors,鈥 as he called it, by
applying the philosophical principles we have studied to other aspects of his life,听whether volunteering with the county health board or his church study group.鈥
In addition to his participation in classroom life at the College, Dr. Emery also served听on the LMC Foundation Board from 1993 to 2005.
Throughout his lifetime, Dr. Emery has made outstanding contributions to the health听of the community through his leadership. His philanthropic work has focused on听prevention and public health. According to Dr. Emery, the key to good health is听knowledge and prevention.
