Reunion class gift campaign 2016
In honor of their respective reunions, the UMMS School of Medicine Classes of 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011 collectively donated more than $281,000 for financial aid and to support other needs throughout the academic health sciences center. In doing so, they established nine endowed scholarships and one current-use scholarship in honor of their graduating classes.
