FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences will host the premiere screening of A Debt Repaid: The Legacy of Dr. Frederick Lee Liebolt. The 25-minute film by graduate student Kelley Miller will be shown at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, in Boyer Hall at the Janelle Y. Hembree House.

Miller’s documentary profiles Liebolt’s career as a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon, inventor, patriot and educator and celebrates his relationship with the University of Arkansas. When Liebolt earned his degree in 1925, he was only 19 years old and the university’s youngest graduate—a distinction he would hold for decades.

In 1985, Liebolt established an endowed Chair of Premedical Sciences to support a premedical program that would enhance the undergraduate experience of students interested in the field of medicine and insure that students were able to enter the medical school of their choice. When the university’s premedical program was formed, it was named in Liebolt’s honor.

Now in its 25th year, the Liebolt Premedical Program in Fulbright College assists students from all degree programs, works with alumni who choose to apply to medical school and advises students who have completed a degree at another institution but plan to attend the University of Arkansas to fulfill their medical school requirements. Students of the program have gone on to some of the most prestigious medical schools in the United States.

The screening is free and open to the public. Attendees are requested to arrive 15 minutes early.
