#GivingTuesday is here! On this special day, your generosity will join with donations from others across the university to have an even greater impact on the lives of our students. For example, take Mwidy Sava Mounange-Badimi, who is working towards a MS in biomedical informatics. Thanks to generous donor support, Sava received a scholarship that allowed him to focus on his studies rather than the cost of his education. “My scholarship has been invaluable in alleviating the financial pressures for this semester,” Sava says. “I had to make an expensive trip back to my home country, Gabon, to renew my visa, and this aid was such a relief. I have used it for my school tuition this semester.” Today, you have the opportunity to help students like Sava become the future informaticians our communities need. Join us in making a positive difference this #GivingTuesday: go.uth.edu/MSBMIGT24

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, a global day of generosity! Join us in supporting our passionate, driven students who are committed to improving the health of our communities. Your gift can help the next generation of informatics experts achieve their dreams: go.uth.edu/MSBMIGT24
