Alan James Kozak

When Alan Kozak arrived at the University of Rochester as a college student, he had never spent a day away from home. Quickly his universe expanded through friendship, the demands of his coursework, and a dream to continue his education at the School of Medicine and Dentistry and become a physician. Thanks to scholarship support, Alan was able to graduate from college and then medical school without debt. A fulfilling career in medicine followed. Now, in gratitude, he supports the University of Rochester so that future students can have the same educational opportunities that he did. Alan included the University in his estate plans, with provisions for both undergraduate and medical education scholarships. He hopes to ease the journey for students and believes there is great importance in paying his good fortune forward.

If I can help students realize dreams that lead to a career as fulfilling as mine has been, this will remain my legacy.
