February 03, 2026

Exciting campaign update! The Biomedical Engineering Society at UCLA has unlocked the $1,000 challenge gift from Michael Thacher, MBA ’83, and Rhonda Rundle, MA ’74, MBA ’83—all within the first week of the campaign. Thanks to their generosity and the support of donors like you, BMES has already reached 55% of our overall goal.

“We are delighted to see BMES reach our first matching milestone. In response, we are pleased to offer an additional $500 in funds to help move the campaign forward. We hope you’ll support these dedicated young students and join this crowdfunding effort.” — Michael and Rhonda
