Student Success Match Campaign
Donations directed to the sponsorship of stethoscopes/white coats, iPads, the four clinical campus Dean’s Excellence Funds, and the Student Scholarship Fund are being matched. A HUGE thanks to Dan Harmon and Mike and Kathy Hambelton for matching donations directed to these four areas that directly impact the success of medical students at the college.
Sponsor a Stethoscope and White Coat
“Give a little love” – Each year, every incoming medical student receives a personalized white coat and crimson stethoscope during their first week of medical school. This emotional and special moment of donning the external symbols of a physician is made even more meaningful by the fact that each white coat and stethoscope is sponsored by a philanthropic contributor. The campaign kicks off in February of each year and ends in July when stethoscopes and white coats are ordered for the next class of WSU physicians.
Kirk Lund, MD Endowed Scholarship Fund
Kirk Lund, MD is a hematologist and medical oncologist specializing in urologic and breast cancer in Spokane, WA and has over 38 years of experience in the medical field. His extraordinary impact on patients will provide a lasting legacy to inspire hope in generations to come, including an exemplary standard of empathetic care for future WSU doctors to follow. Don and Dena Kopczynski have established an endowed scholarship honoring Dr. Lund with contributions by Avista and MultiCare. Join them in honoring Dr. Lund with a gift to the Dr. Kirk Lund, MD Scholarship Fund.
