Big moves at Johns Hopkins University, everyone! Thanks to a jaw-dropping $1 billion donation from Bloomberg Philanthropies, starting this fall, medical education is getting a major boost. 🎓This incredible contribution ensures full tuition is covered for students coming from families earning less than $300,000, while also bolstering support with living expenses for those whose families earn up to $175,000. We couldn't be more excited for the future medical professionals who can chase their dreams without the weight of debt.🙌🏾 Michael Bloomberg's visionary gift is setting the stage for a brighter, more inclusive future in healthcare education, empowering the next generation to serve and innovate without debt constraints. 👏🏾Let's hear it for this game-changing impact!

Consider donating to the The LAM Foundation on this #GivingTuesday. LAM is a progressive, non-curable disease that affects mostly women. While there isn't a cure today, donations like today have allowed the LAM Foundation to work with the FDA and NIH to find treatments such as drugs to slow down the process, lung transplant procedures that are more effective, etc. LAM replicates very much like cancer cells. LAM clinics around the country are tied to cancer centers as they are hoping to share treatments and research for both LAM and different types of cancer (and hoping this cross-sectional sharing provides breakthroughs in both diseases). Please consider donating today to not only finding a cure, but also improving treatments for patients for decades to come! #LAM
For individuals with LAM, medical advances cannot happen fast enough. On #GivingTuesday, the largest global fundraising day of the year, you have the chance to do 2X the good for the LAM community. Today, every contribution will be matched, up to $25,000. Please don’t wait. Thanks to your investment in The LAM Foundation, patients are living longer and healthier lives. We want more. We want a cure. To do that, we rely on you. Give today and double your impact. https://bit.ly/3SPfgle

Race & Ethnic Studies Researcher • Hispanic-Serving Institutions Champion • Educator • Strategic Thinker
Looking for something to support in your end-of-year giving? At the Texas A&M University Race & Ethnic Studies Institute (RESI), we prioritize students and faculty conducting research that fits within our Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and Power & Inequality research initiatives. By putting #researchfirst at #tamuresi, we're the leader in supporting HSI relevant research at the nation's largest and most research-intensive HSI. So if you're in the Texas A&M Hispanic Network or otherwise know, deep down, that supporting race and ethnic studies research in Texas is something our students, state, and nation need, you're in luck! We're hosting our first ever year-end fundraising campaign here: http://give.am/RESI Our goal is 64 donors (2 for every year RESI has existed). All of the donations coming in through this campaign will go to support student (graduate and undergraduate) research connected to RESI. And if you're interested in making a larger donation, I'm happy to sit down and chat. In the longterm, RESI's goal is to be funded as independently as possible to ensure the independence of our research efforts. Please share in your networks and remember to give on November 28th (#GivingTuesday) or anytime before the end of the year. Link is above and in the comments below. #givingtuesday2023 #researchexcellence #highereducation #highered

https://gofund.me/835aec3a Q: When is donating money to a fraternity a sensible decision? A: When higher education is under attack from extremism on every side fueled by a mass media and social media landscape that promotes conflict in order to weaken our institutions. When there is finally a push for the middle. When there is real optimism and progress toward bringing everyone together and putting the unity back into community. When there is a spark of hope that we are turning this thing around and returning to the values that make our country great. When we recognize that we are all stronger together no matter what our individual beliefs and that we owe it to one another to come together while respecting and embracing the issues that divide us. When we start to realize once again that diversity is a superpower and the American democracy is built upon differences in culture, differences in beliefs, and differences of opinion. When you realize that the institutions in our country that promote individual thought and academic freedom are the basis of our strength. When you see that our children are finally emerging from the cloud of Covid and learning again how to socialize and share their lives together. When you stop to remember how much the fraternities, teams, groups, organizations that were foundational in your college experience shaped the rest of your life. When it really matters. In other words... today.

Recently listened to a podcast from The Pew Charitable Trusts, highlighting how important it is for scientists to communicate their research effectively to the public. In today's world, where opinions can be pretty divided, building trust in science is more important than ever. Pew Research Center findings shed light on how public views are always changing. Check it out! From Lab to Life: Trust in Science

Here’s a great look in to the details of my previous post.
A Texas-sized thank you goes out to Kay and Billy Torrence for their investment in the future of health science education in Kilgore. Kilgore College received a substantial donation from the Torrence Family for the naming rights of the college’s new health science educational facility. The official name of the structure - the Torrence Health Science Education Center - was unveiled at a special ceremony Tuesday, June 18.

Thoughts? Hospitals in America are falling victim to a shocking scheme orchestrated by for-profit investors. By selling off hospital land to little-known real-estate investor, Medical Properties Trust, communities are left to suffer. Financial struggles, lack of access to healthcare, and bankruptcies have devastated low-income communities. Private-equity firms, like Cerberus, Leonard Green, and Apollo, have profited while cutting off care.

IMPACT is run by 100% volunteers, please consider donating, link in bio.

Why give to the School of Education Annual Fund for #VTGivingDay? Because we're challenging the status quo. Data shows public school teachers in America are much less diverse than their students - which is what Dr. Brenda Brand and Dr. Lezly Taylor set out to address when they developed a partnership for graduate students between Virginia Tech and Shaw University, a historically Black college or university (HBCU) in Raleigh, North Carolina. Javari Burgess (pictured below) is one of two students participating in the pilot year of the program. This program directly helps students and helps further the school's mission of challenging the status quo. Like many of our other initiatives, it is partially supported by donor funds. Even a gift as small as $5 can help sustain projects like this pilot program and others that directly support students, staff and faculty. To help support this program and others like it, you can give here: https://lnkd.in/ep_d3Xs5 You can read more about Javari, the partnership and the critical need this program is aiming to address here: https://lnkd.in/eaXTJihn
