When Weill Cornell Medicine’s new student residence is completed in 2025, it will bear the names of donors who are passionate about medical education – and dedicated to supporting the nation’s future health-care leaders.
For Weill Cornell Medicine alumni, an investment in the new student residence represents a special opportunity to support their alma mater – and the chance to help build a home that will nurture the next generation of physicians-in-training.
Building on their longtime commitment to social justice, equity and diversity, Louise and Leonard Riggio have made a $5.6 million gift to Weill Cornell Medicine to establish a named scholarship for medical students with financial need who are Black.
With a gift of $200,000 in support of a Weill Cornell Medicine program to encourage vaccination, the Weil, Gotshal & Manges Foundation hopes to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates in underserved communities.
Milestones, the Weill Cornell institutional newsletter, is published four times a year and highlights some of our recent donors and exciting developments.
