Dr. Cigarroa praised Dr. Williams for his continuous dedication to the system as he presented him with an exclusive crystal trophy personalized for Dr. Williams.
Dr. Williams began his career with the UT System in 1965 at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, shortly after he received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. In 1970, he joined the Health Science Center and since then he has served the Medical and Dental Schools.
Dr. Williams said he feels honored to be recognized for his years of service to the UT System.
