The KGI Giving Society recognizes the extraordinary generosity of alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who donate $1,000 or more to KGI annually, alumni who have graduated in the past five years and made a gift of $500 or more or have donated $100,000 or more in their lifetime. The members’ generous spirit has a direct, positive influence on the phenomenal faculty and students of KGI.

At KGI, we are uniquely positioned to make lasting impacts on issues such as healthcare accessibility by educating future leaders in the healthcare and life science industries. As we embark on the next 25 years of growth and innovation at KGI, we are proud and grateful to have the KGI Giving Society members as our partners in this remarkable endeavor.

All gifts, matching gifts, pledges, and pledge payments will count towards the annual membership to the giving society.

"As an international student, it is essential to have someone to guide me on my professional path in this country. The mentorship program allows me to have the guidance of someone knowledgeable and experienced in the biotech and business field, such as Andrew Lewis. He has helped me grow my professional network and provided advice in seeking job opportunities. This mentorship has also helped me to have more confidence in myself and to ask for feedback and internal referrals from various professionals in leadership positions in the company where I am doing my internship."
