Giving to the School of Medicine
Where does the money come from and where does it go?
Good news … no dues.
The former dues system was discontinued in concordance with the School of Medicine Alumni Association (MSAA) board of directors and Dr. Steven Wartman, dean of the School of Medicine.
The question remains, how will we operate?
The new alumni association’s operational budget for 2003-2004 was created by merging monies from the alumni association’s dues account into the School of Medicine alumni account.
| • | Monies from the MSAA account fund alumni program operations and part of the alumni director’s salary. Dean Wartman also targeted monies from other accounts to help with operations. |
| • | The development office conducts an annual fund drive. Alumni can support the School of Medicine by contributing to the Dean’s Critical Needs Fund during this campaign or at any time. |
Below are a short overview of the 2003-2004 budget revenue and a summary of the planned expenses which we will incur as we implement the alumni program.
