President’s Cabinet

Formed in 1993, the President’s Cabinet strives to increase discretionary funding for emerging UTMB priorities. Annual contributions from alumni, faculty, staff and university friends, as well as business and community leaders—at least $1,000 for individuals and $5,000 for corporations, foundations and other organizations—are used to support promising UTMB programs through President’s Cabinet Awards.

The contributions of President’s Cabinet members are pooled. From this pool, we make awards to UTMB programs that reinforce our most essential values. Awards are determined by a committee of members who make recommendations to the university president.

Every year we host an awards dinner for President’s Cabinet members, showcasing UTMB programs enriched by their generosity. Throughout the year, members are also invited to tour the university campus and learn more about key UTMB educational, clinical and research activities.
