💙 It warms our hearts to see our alumni help those following in their footsteps -- whether it's through mentorship, sharing inspirational stories or even financial support.

The MUSC College of Nursing () celebrated all three during their recent Scholars & Benefactor Celebration, where scholarship students met with the donors -- many of whom are MUSC alums -- who helped make those scholarships possible.

Thanks for the inspiration, support and reminding us how gratifying it is to give back.

At MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, researchers are testing a promising new drug that attacks head and neck cancers by cutting off their energy supply. 🔋

Unlike chemotherapy or radiation, this approach leaves healthy cells mostly untouched — offering hope for safer, more effective treatments in the future.

💡 Did you know this kind of cancer research is happening right here at Hollings? If you’re passionate about advancing cancer research, supporting Hollings helps bring these kinds of breakthroughs to patients and families in South Carolina. 💙 https://buff.ly/IzxnzHM

Bodhi McConnell was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma at just 5 months old.

Today, at seven years cancer-free, he’s busy fishing, hitting the beach and cheering for Clemson football. 🏖️🏈

The McConnells turned their gratitude for MUSC Children’s Health into action to support the groundbreaking work of Bodhi’s doctor, Dr. Jacqueline Kraveka.

Through The McConnell Foundation and their annual Shining Stars Gala, they’ve contributed nearly $175,000 to Dr. Kraveka’s research, including studies that led to FDA approval of a new neuroblastoma drug.

Thank you, McConnell family!

At the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), research isn’t just something we do: It’s who we are. From lab bench to bedside, our discoveries push the limits of what’s possible in health care.

Like Dr. Leonardo Ferreira’s latest work: creating a new kind of immune cell that could prevent organ rejection without weakening the whole immune system. It’s a huge leap forward for transplant patients today and for those who need safer, longer-lasting options in the future. Details ➡️https://buff.ly/msAy1cc

And it's just one of many innovations shaping the future of care here. 💙
