Founders Circle
Dell Medical School marks the first time in nearly half a century that a top-tier research university has built a new medical school from scratch.
The Founders Circle honors some of Dell Med’s most critical supporters — people who invested $50,000 or more in the school’s early years. These foundational gifts had an impact far greater than their face value, and Dell Med thanks all Founders Circle members for their generosity and foresight.
The chance to join the Founders Circle ended at the close of 2020, the year our inaugural class graduated.
