JAMES PLATT WHITE

It was an evening to honor donors to the
medical school at the annual James Platt White
Society recognition dinner for donors who give
$1,000 or more to the school during the academic
year (see listing on following pages).
Dean Michael Cain, MD, shared his vision for
the medical school and how private philanthropy
is essential for the school to achieve
its full potential of excellence in research,
education and clinical care.

The James Platt White Society is the medical
school’s recognition society that consists of donors
who make gifts of $1,000 or more annually to the
School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Annual giving is the foundation of fundraising.
These gifts are essential to the health of the school
because they allow the school to seize opportunities
as they emerge during the academic year.
Annual donors are true stakeholders of the
school. In essence they “vote” every year for the
medical and scientific education and training of
students to continue and to flourish.

Dr. Janet Sung and Mr. John Sung with Luona
Sun, the John J. and Janet H. Sung Scholar
Developed by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation and now in place at more than 90 percent of medical schools in
the United States, the ceremony involves incoming students being formally “robed” in white coats and their
reciting of an oath affirming their commitment to the highest standards of ethics and patient care.
A highlight at this year’s ceremony involved donors coating students for whom they had provided scholarships,
as pictured here. For a description of the incoming class, turn to page 23.
