Donor Memorial Service
Each year around Memorial Day weekend the first year medical and pharmacy students organize a memorial service for the families of the donors from the past year. They gather to honor the donors and show their gratitude for the education they are provided by the donation. The service consists of administration and faculty speaking about the importance of each donation and the benefit the donations provide to health science education and research. Students will share words of appreciation or musical numbers to express how much the donor meant to their education.
The memorial service is followed by a reception that allows students and families to share stories and thoughtful words with each other.
