Dear Fellow Alumni and Friends of the School of Medicine,

Each year the School of Medicine requests the support of its alumni. This is essential support that allows the school to remain a vital academic medical institution that continues to serve its students and the community but it also ensures that the School meets the challenges of tomorrow.

The Alumni Annual Fund supports student-driven outreach programs that provide healthcare to the uninsured and underinsured people of metropolitan Detroit . The Annual Fund also makes it possible for students to grow professionally and personally to become physicians of whom we will be proud.

In addition to community-based programs, the Annual Fund supports student scholarships and loans, summer research fellowships, and various other student programs and events. Furthermore, the Annual Fund allocations committee has designated $1 million in support of the Richard J. Mazurek, M.D., Medical Education Commons.

This project will provide a much-needed academic center for students, faculty, alumni and the community. It will house world-class programs and technologies that will educate and inspire the next generation of physicians.

I urge you to support these initiatives. They exemplify our mission to improve the School of Medicine and enhance the educational experience for its students.

It is more important than ever for us to participate in the positive future of The School of Medicine.

Sincerely,

Ernest Yoder, MD, PhD, '78
