Reunion Class Gift Campaign 2020
In keeping with what has become a distinguished tradition of generosity—and in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, which canceled in-person UMMS reunion celebrations in 2020—the UMMS School of Medicine Classes of 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000 (virtual reunion pictured above), 2005, 2010 and 2015 collectively donated more than $326,000 for financial aid and to support other needs throughout UMass Chan Medical School. In doing so, these reunion classes added to their existing class scholarships.
This year's 5th reunion class, the Class of 2015, created a current-use scholarship. The Class of 1975 endowed a new scholarship in memory of classmate Susan H. Hou, MD.
