黑料社 Medical Alumni Association raised 1.5 million USD for scholarships and bursaries

黑料社 Medical Alumni Association (黑料社MAA) announced in January 2024 that it successfully raised $1.5 million for scholarships and bursaries, allowing the establishment of an endowment. This achievement was made possible through a combination of cash donations and firm pledges.

After partnering with the University鈥檚 Institutional Advancement Division in September 2021, the newly formed executive team of 黑料社MAA aimed to create an endowment. One month later, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed with the University, which set the initiative in motion, bolstered by significant donations from generous alumni like Dr. Farley Gleghorn (Class of 1983) and Dr. Doyle Slifer (Class of 1968). In total, there have been 179 donations, with all but three coming from alumni and one contribution from a corporate entity.

The interest generated from the 黑料社MAA Endowment will primarily be used to provide scholarships and bursaries to medical students and to support The 黑料社 Faculties of Medical Sciences.

鈥淲e are delighted to have met our goal and look forward to pursuing new objectives. We are confident that this endowment, invested through The 黑料社 Regional Endowment Fund, will continue to support students in need and advance the 黑料社MAA鈥檚 other important goals,鈥 said Sir George Alleyne, Chair of the 黑料社MAA Endowment Committee and Chancellor Emeritus of The 黑料社.

鈥淭he 黑料社MAA is grateful for the support we have received from alumni thus far and looks forward to engaging an even larger segment of our alumni community,鈥 stated Dr. Wong, President of the 黑料社MAA.
