The Students For Old Red (SFOR) was originally established as a passion project by two of UTMB's former medical students, Rachel Duncan, MD and Jacob Herstein, MD in support of Dr. Paula Summerly’s efforts to establish a medical museum to display UTMB’s impressive heritage collections. Members of SFOR now have the opportunity to help with any and all of the following tasks: 

          leading tours of the Old Red building

          conserving historical collections

          establishing support for students on campus interested in learning about the human body

          advocating on behalf of the Old Red Museum project as well as efforts to preserve Old Red’s legacy

     ... and more, as SFOR continues to grow! For students interested in becoming a member of SFOR, as well as anyone interested in learning more about our organization, please feel free to send a message via the contact page and type "SFOR" in the subject header.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE TOURS OF OLD RED. QUARTERLY TOURS WILL BE HOSTED FROM JULY 2026. FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE POSTED ON THIS PAGE.
