In 2018, the University of Michigan Cancer Center was renamed the Rogel Cancer Center in recognition of a $150 million commitment from Richard and Susan Rogel.

This gift was the largest ever to Michigan Medicine and one of the largest in the University of Michigan’s history. It enabled Michigan Medicine to draw on its collaborative research culture to drive cancer care forward.

 The donation helped attract and support outstanding cancer researchers from around the world, including the most promising fellows and trainees, making the University of Michigan a premier center fostering the development of new leaders in cancer research and care.
