Reunion class gift campaign 2018
In honor of their respective reunions, the UMMS School of Medicine Classes of 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008 and 2013 collectively donated nearly $249,000 for financial aid and to support other needs throughout the academic health sciences center. In doing so, they added to the class scholarships they established previously in honor of their graduating classes. This year's 5th reunion class, the Class of 2013, created a current-use scholarship. In addition, two alumni each established a scholarship endowment.
