Mission

The Office of External Affairs is responsible for supporting and promoting activities related to teaching, research, public policy and outreach, the core mission of Meharry Medical College. To fulfill this mission, the Office of External Affairs must proactively build and maintain relationships between neighboring communities; local, state, and federal officials; civic, corporate and community organizations; alumni and internal constituents.

Vision

Through strategic and innovative marketing and communications techniques, the Office of External Affairs will actively engage all of its units in helping Meharry Medical College attain recognition as a leading urban based research institution. The Office will also be readily identified by the campus community and external partners as the place where issues that affect all of these constituents can be effectively addressed and resolved.
