Key Areas of Alumni Giving |
|
Medical Education Building - A planned medical education building will provide new technologies and flexible teaching spaces to support innovative medical instruction, including training in emergency medicine for students, residents, and state emergency medical technicians. The facility will include specialized multimedia classrooms, video-equipped exam rooms for analyzing student-patient interactions, and a Medical Simulation Training Center for honing emergency medicine skills.
Facility construction is expected to cost $30 million, $12.5 of which has been contributed through a challenge gift from the Claude Moore Charitable Foundation and $3 million from the School of Medicine. |
| Unrestricted Support - Unrestricted gifts are more important than ever in meeting urgent and emerging School of Medicine needs as they arise. Unrestricted funds help us to implement our most ambitious visions and plan strategically for the future. Such gifts have been used to recruit talented faculty, develop new strengths in our curriculum, sponsor vital lectures, and create innovative teaching models. |
Support for Groundbreaking Research - Research support will fuels discovery, moving new treatments more quickly from the laboratory to the bedside. In UVa laboratories today, scientists are testing a vaccine for cancer, tracking down the fundamental causes of Alzheimer's, developing new ways to test for lung cancer, and pursuing many more powerful breakthroughs. |
| Fellowships and Scholarships - Gifts of $250,000 and above may be used to create named, endowed fellowship and scholarship funds. These funds help us recruit and retain the brightest students year after year, regardless of their financial backgrounds. High caliber students promote a first-rate teaching school, where academics, research, and clinical care thrive. | Medical Alumni Endowment Fund - These gifts serve to build our endowment and allow the Medical Alumni Association to offer increased services for medical alumni and surviving spouses, former residents, faculty, and students. This support sustains daily operations and ensures the highest quality of alumni programming and service to the UVa School of Medicine. |
|
Professorships - Gifts of $1 million or more may be used to create named, endowed professorships in the School of Medicine. Professorships help UVa attract and retain outstanding faculty. They may be named for or by the donor. |
