LEXINGTON, Ky.\u2014Charles T. Ambrose received a 2010 Outstanding Community Honoree award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals Bluegrass Chapter at a National Philanthropy Day luncheon November 10. The program celebrates those who have made a significant contribution of time and resources to nonprofit agencies, therefore enhancing the quality of life in the community. Ambrose, a professor of microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and a widely published expert on medical history, was nominated by Transylvania University. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon after Dr. Ambrose\u2019s first visit to Transylvania in 2007, he embarked on a mission to tell the world about the books and instruments used in the old Transylvania Medical Department from 1799-1859 that are still kept in our Special Collections,\u201d said Mark Blankenship, acting vice president for alumni and development. \u00a0<\/p>\n

First, Ambrose conceived the idea of hosting a symposium on Transylvania\u2019s role in early medical education. The event attracted historians, physicians, teachers and others\u2014including a Smithsonian Institution curator who studied Transylvania\u2019s nineteenth-century medical collection. <\/p>\n

To continue the conversation among symposium attendees and to make others aware of Transylvania\u2019s unique holdings, Ambrose offered to underwrite a publication, \u201cTransylvania Treasures,\u201d that would tell the story of the school\u2019s rich past. Eight issues have been published since 2008, and Ambrose is a frequent contributor. <\/p>\n

\u201cTransylvania Treasures\u201d has been extremely well received and has won numerous awards, including the 2009 Gold Award\u2014the highest available\u2014in a competition sponsored by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, which has 3,400 members from 61 countries. <\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Ambrose has raised awareness of Transylvania\u2019s rare books, documents, scientific artifacts and portraits, but more importantly, he is helping to ensure that these treasures are properly preserved and that students and scholars continue to have access to them,\u201d said Blankenship. <\/p>\n

Others recognized at national Philanthropy Day included Transylvania trustee Pearse Lyons and his wife, Dierdre, who received the Distinguished Philanthropist Award, and the late Sam Barnes, who served on Transylvania\u2019s Board of Trustees for 15 years and was named a 2010 Outstanding Community Honoree. \u00a0<\/p>\n
