“I can only do what I do because I had wonderful training at MCV. It was a privilege.” “The traditional syllabus and lecture still has its place, but there are much more impactful ways to teach and learn these days.”

“MCV needs this building, and I’m excited to be part of that.” “I think giving is something that’s very personal and the motivation should come from within. I am grateful for my start from MCV.”

“I am intensely proud of how MCV has evolved, and I consider it to be a treasure chest of knowledge.”

he medical school is anticipating the opening of the McGlothlin Medical Education Center in the spring. Already, faculty are planning curriculum changes that will make the most of innovative space that is designed for team-based, clinically-driven problem solving in flexible, small-group learning studios and simulation labs. Alumni, faculty and friends are backing these forward thinking approaches to training physicians through financial gifts to the ongoing campaign. The $37-million campaign draws to a close at the end of the calendar year but it’s already attracted

an unprecedented level of support to the medical school. That support will be chronicled on a high-profile donor wall in the building’s lobby. The Dean of Medicine is looking forward to seeing the wall covered with the names of those who have supported the school’s ongoing campaign at the leadership level of $10,000 and above. “It is very gratifying to see how alumni, faculty and friends of the medical school have come together to support our core mission, medical education,” said Jerry Strauss III, M.D., Ph.D., dean of the medical school and executive vice

president for medical affairs for the VCU Health System. “I hear over and over again from our alumni about the incomparable clinical experience they had on the MCV Campus, and how exceptional teaching helped paved the way for their rewarding careers. The success of this campaign ensures that future generations will have an equally rich educational experience at school.”

There’s still time to make your mark with a gift that will show future generations what your training has meant to you. Dec. 31, 2012, is the deadline for adding your name to the donor wall that will be unveiled at the building’s Gala Opening on April 20, 2013.
