Everyone Counts

Annual giving is a critical part of a university. Typically, annual funds represent the alumni of the school - and the level of participation is as important in measuring success as the dollars raised.

This is true at the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences as well, and we look to our alumni and special friends to provide these necessary funds each year. They are what support and enhance the student scholarship funds, faculty development, research and the ongoing needs of the school.

The generosity of every alumnus makes a difference!

Meet Don and Joann McIntyre! The McIntyres are the epitome of “alumni loyalty.” For the past 35 years they have remembered the medical school with an annual gift.

Don dedicated his entire career to providing quality health care to his patients in the Rugby area of rural North Dakota. The couple has been active members of both their community and UND. Don was recently honored with the UND Alumni Association Sioux Award. It is the highest honor bestowed upon UND graduates.

“I have always been grateful for the opportunities my education at UND provided me,” Don said, “and I started giving a gift to the school even while I had a young practice and was raising children. I’m honored to show my gratitude in this way - it’s my way of helping the school move forward into the future.”
