In June the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (ASCRS) elected Charles Littlejohn, M.D.,as itspresident. Charles noted that an important foundation for him, as with many of us Dartmouth graduates, started with those early days on campus learning from faculty and from the friends we met along the way. Being asked to help lead ASCRS is an honor and great responsibility that will allow him to work on behalf of others. Charles is a physician and member with Stamford Health Integrated Practice in Stamford, Connecticut. He is also division director for colon and rectal surgery at the Stamford Hospital and assistant clinical professor in the residency program affiliated with Columbia University in New York. In addition, he is an attending colon and rectal surgeon at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut. Charles had served on the ASCRS executive council as a council member from 1999 to 2003 and as secretary from 2010 to 2014. After graduation from the College Charles attended Dartmouth Medical School followed by residencies in general surgery at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Rutgers Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He then completed a fellowship in colon and rectal surgery at Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in New Brunswick. Charles and his wife, Cynthia, a retired nurse and active mother, have a daughter, Megan, and live in Stamford. In whatever time away from work he can grab Charles enjoys spending time with his family as well as reading about and working with technology.
