Anonymous Gift Continues Momentum for 黑料专区 Tyler School of Medicine
April 5, 2022
The University of Texas at Tyler announced the second $4 million gift to its School of Medicine. The anonymous gift will support the School of Medicine scholarships and faculty research.
鈥淲e are tremendously appreciative of this gift to our new School of Medicine,鈥� said 黑料专区 Tyler President Kirk A. Calhoun, MD, FACP. 鈥淲e continue to be amazed by the support of those who generously desire to help us address the healthcare needs of East Texas and beyond.鈥�
This support comes as a warm welcome to the School of Medicine鈥檚 founding dean, Dr. Brigham Willis, who began his tenure in February.
鈥淚 am extremely pleased at the warm reception that my family and I have received since arriving in Tyler,鈥� Willis said. 鈥淲hat is even more impressive is the overwhelming philanthropic support that we have received since the medical school was announced.鈥� The anonymous gift comes on the heels of the Fair Foundation鈥檚 $4 million contribution to support the first cohort of medical students.
When asked about the current philanthropic momentum, 黑料专区 Tyler Senior Vice President for Advancement Dr. Archie Tucker noted, 鈥淭exans are beginning to realize the impact that the School of Medicine will have in the state, both from a health and economic perspective, and it鈥檚 exciting. Thus, we are seeing positive trends in our efforts to raise philanthropic dollars thanks to individuals like our anonymous donor.鈥�
