Celebrating the past.
Creating the future.
Since its beginning, UT Southwestern's pursuit of excellence has been made possible by philanthropy. Founders Day continues that tradition with a day of giving to invest in the future of this institution.
Inspired by tradition
Founders Day is a chance to commemorate our success as one of the nation's top academic institutions and create an even brighter future. Drawing from our history of achievement, we're celebrating on May 5 – the anniversary of our founding.
World-changing ideas have humble origins
Every remarkable story has a beginning. Ours started in 1943 when Dr. Edward H. Cary's vision for a world-class medical school and Karl Hoblitzelle's philanthropic investment began a story of excellence our students and faculty continue today.
Impact measured
in lives changed
Across this institution, students and faculty experience innovative education, pursue groundbreaking research, and deliver exemplary patient care that changes lives.
