UofL Day of Giving Results
YOU have made a big impact! Both online and offline, the preliminary total for SPHIS for the Day of Giving was 19 donors, raising $3,735. I want to give a special thanks to Dean Craig Blakely for his $1,000 matching gift, Dr. Anne Wallis for her generous support, and to everyone who gave and helped SPHIS earn an additional $500 match! The money raised will go toward scholarship funds, student aid for travel and conferences, faculty and research support, and much more.
Two SPHIS students shared how your donations have directly supported them in their academic and professional journeys this year!
Mary Curnutte, MS, RD, LD, doctoral student in the Dept. of Health Management & Systems Sciences, said, “My goal after graduation is to work in food and nutrition research and public health outcomes. My hope is to contribute towards improved population health through the preventative power of food. I am using this scholarship to fund part of the financial requirement for the annual Food and Nutrition Conference. Last year, I conducted research on the association of increased risk for chronic disease related to poor mental health. Thank you again for helping me with my career. As a full-time student, investing in conferences in not possible without the help from donors like yourself. Thanks again!”
A student in our accelerated MPH program, Emily Adkins, wrote, “In addition to being a full-time student, I work part-time in the population health department at Family Health Centers, a nonprofit community health center in West Louisville. In my role, I do a lot of patient outreach to get people to come in for routine visits, vaccines, and preventative health screenings. I love being able to help populations in need and connect with patients on a daily basis. Working in the field of Public Health is so rewarding, and I love being able to apply what I’ve learned in class to my current job. Again, thank you so much for your contribution to my education. I appreciate your kindness and generosity.”
Together, we #RaisedSomeL!
