Joy of watching the reaction of all those students. Priceless. Hope they remember this the rest of their life’s.

What a generous lady. This will motivate the kids in future

[Zsty]

Absolutely incredible, amazing people here

[divalea]

This is a terrific way to use one billion. (Which will be invested so that student tuition is paid with those earnings.)
The money can ONLY be used for tuition.
One of the conditions of the gift is that the facility NOT be named after Dr. Gottesman.

How fantastic is this what a philanthropic!!!❤️

[TWUMKWAME]

This is all that money is for, if you made it in life, you won't take a dime with you, this gift would impact the doctors for life.

Kudos to the lady providing tuition. Many physicians question the choice to become a physician due to interest on loans, missing income into the late twenties, office costs, charting requirements and insurance costs.

THIS is what billionaires should be doing with their wealth: something worthwhile!

[Shmancyfancy]

All billionaires need to do this. Doctors are the most important part of society.

Hope that future doctors learn of this to work for people and not for money only

[georgeperez-stillwagon]

Personal opinion: should be for specific medical fields. There are also be requirements. Why. The world will be tr y ing to get into the school.
