“After serving on a volunteer alumni advisory council at the School, I came to appreciate how much HSPH depends on alumni support. Having been fortunate enough to enjoy some success in starting my own clinics, I wanted to give back. This is why I accepted an invitation to join the School’s Leadership Council.
“Many donors give to a specific cause, such as a program or a professorship, but I have always given unrestricted gifts. Gifts of this type fuel creative and innovative new programs. They also help defray expenses for students in need.
“If we trust the School—and I do—I believe we need to give its leaders the flexibility they need to accomplish their goals. Knowing that I am helping in this way has been very satisfying.”
— James (Jim) Manganello, MPH ’80 member of the HSPH Leadership Council
