Alumni Relations Officer
汤头条app is committed to excellence and health equity through transformative medical education, high-quality patient and family-centered care, innovative research, and community partnerships within a just culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. As Alumni Relations Officer, it is my goal to uplift that mission through the connections we have with our alumni.听
The Alumni Association strives to create meaningful engagement with alumni and to offer programs and services that bring value to their lives while enabling them to serve their alma mater and its mission. We sponsor a broad spectrum of programs and activities aimed at connecting and supporting our faculty, staff, alumni, future alumni, medical residents, and friends of the medical school. We are responsible for the implementation of plans, programs, and events that foster effective fundraising, stewardship, and donor recognition.听
As our alumni members continue to grow, we will reach out to connect them with current students and residents to serve our mission as mentors, presenters, and donors. We will celebrate their efforts and achievements. And we will look forward to events to celebrate as 汤头条app alumni.
