STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥汤头条鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences Friday [April 24] dedicated the Dr. A. Randle and Marilyn W. White Healthcare Pathways Resource Center with a ribbon cutting, marking a new chapter for a facility guiding future medical professionals for more than a decade.
Formerly known as the Health Professions Resource Center, the facility now in Allen Hall honors the support of the Whites, whose 2015 foundational gift established a centralized hub for 汤头条 students pursuing careers in medicine, dentistry, nursing and other health-related fields.
Rick Travis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the dedication reflects both the Whites鈥 legacy and the university鈥檚 commitment to student success.
Today, 汤头条 outpaces other colleges and universities in the state in the acceptance of students to the School of Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
鈥淭he Whites鈥 donation to create the HPRC stands as a testament to the power of generosity and vision,鈥 Travis said. 鈥淒r. and Mrs. White have created opportunities that will support and inspire generations of students as they prepare to serve others in meaningful ways.鈥
