A surprising gift and commitment from bestselling author and Giraffe University founder Chris Jarvis comes at an important time. In support of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, Jarvis has ensured all first-and second-year medical students receive a copy of “Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-create Race in the Twenty-first Century” by Dorothy Roberts.
Additionally, Jarvis has committed to donating proceeds from the sale of his latest book “Giraffe Money: See Better Paths to Elevated Wealth,” which was released on June 25 and hit the bestseller list in Entrepreneurship, Finance, Insurance and Wealth Management in its first week. Jarvis has agreed to donate his author royalty ($5 per paperback, $2 per kindle) to the School of Medicine. The funds will be used to support scholarships for underrepresented minorities, which is a top priority of the medical school.
