Worchester-based University of Massachusetts Medical School launched the public phase of its largest fundraising campaign since its inception in 1962.
Called "Pathways of Promise," the comprehensive campaign seeks to raise $250 for UMass Medical School to advance biomedical research, education and community and global engagement.
In July 2012, UMass Medical School started the private phase of the campaign and has already raised $150 million in pledges.
"The Pathways of Promise campaign represents a defining moment for UMass Medical School," said UMass Medical School Chancellor Michael Collins, MD, in a statement. "This campaign will build upon the singular atmosphere at our health sciences university and allow us to partner with those who are inspired to demonstrate their confidence in our medical school through their generosity. We are challenged to imagine our promise and what we can accomplish together."
