Lead Campaign Donors

Dell Medical School’s lead campaign donors have made generous gifts of $100,000 or more to advance our mission since September 2016. We are grateful for these donors and their foundational support during the What Starts Here campaign, the most ambitious fundraising effort in Texas history.
What starts at The University of Texas at Austin changes the world — and this is possible because of the vision of our school’s loyal supporters.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave a legacy for future generations — it helps everybody. It helps the community. It helps our immediate family because it sets an example to our children. And it helps us pay it forward to the next generation.
