Dean's Council

The Dean’s Council celebrates donors who make annual leadership gifts of $1,000 or more to benefit the Indiana University School of Medicine. For over 40 years, generous donors have contributed to medical research and education. The Dean’s Council includes alumni, faculty, community members and other friends who believe in our mission of preparing healers and transforming health.

As a Dean’s Council member, you decide what to support—cancer research, medical student scholarships, our work in Kenya or any other area of the school that is meaningful to you. In turn, we recognize your generosity, keep you updated on the impact of your giving, and provide you the opportunity to meet the physicians, researchers and students whose work you support.

For more than a century, IU School of Medicine has provided exceptional medical training for students who care for people across Indiana and around the world. Our research has led to new treatments, improved care and saved lives. While the school is a public asset, only a fraction of our budget comes from the state. Our mission’s continued success is possible only through philanthropy.

• Make medical school accessible and affordable to deserving students through scholarships
• Fund high-risk and early-stage research so scientists can develop new treatments for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions
• Radically transform and improve public health in Kenya through gifts to the IU-led AMPATH initiative
• Ensure each of our nine campuses across Indiana has the facilities and resources to provide stellar training
• Empower school leaders to respond quickly and decisively when new opportunities arise by supporting the IU School of Medicine fund
