shape tomorrow's leaders
your opportunity to shape tomorrow’s health care leaders begins here.
lipscomb has a strong legacy in health and sciences, and as a student here, you were an important part of all we have accomplished. now, as a professional in your chosen field, you can make an even greater impact in our future—our students’ futures. your financial support of the ward society helps to increase the breadth and depth of what we are able to accomplish. gifts to the ward society will assist in building life-changing scholarships, develop world-class programming, and help us reach more alumni and friends who have a passion for the health sciences.
the j.s. ward society was created to encourage even greater support for the university’s health sciences and to recognize those who have dedicated themselves to advancing lipscomb’s mission of education and service. it is a society of like-minded professionals who want to “pay it forward” by helping the best and brightest among the university’s students to reach their dreams in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and allied health professions.
