MAGNIFY | Giving Thanks for Our Alumni Family

As we approach Thanksgiving, our hearts are full of appreciation for you—our 5,200 alumni across six remarkable educational programs.

This season reminds us to pause and give thanks, and we are deeply grateful for the ways you continue to carry forward the legacy of the School of Medicine Columbia. Your dedication, achievements and generosity enrich our community and inspire the next generation of health professionals.

From all of us at the SOMC, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful Thanksgiving filled with warmth, reflection and connection. Thank you for being an essential part of our story!

FOCUS | A Celebration of 40 Years

For forty years, the USC School of Medicine Columbia's Genetic Counseling Program has trained nearly 275 professionals whose compassion and expertise continue to shape genetic care. To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join Passing It On—a 40-day campaign to raise $14,400 in support of the program's future and to honor four decades that shaped its past.

With giving levels that reflect key milestones in the program's journey, every gift helps ensure the next 40 years of impact are just as powerful as the first.

Pass It On and Give Now

And mark your calendar: we'll celebrate together at Gene Jubilee: A Celebration of 40 Years on April 18, during the SOMC Alumni Weekend. We can't wait to see you there!
