The School of Medicine and Public Health underwent a major strategic initiative called Vision 2020 to create a new vision statement, and to provide an opportunity to reflect on our mission and values.
All members of the SMPH community were invited to participate in a survey and in focus groups. The school’s leadership used the results of these activities to draft mission, vision, and values statements, which were circulated widely for comment. A new mission statement, vision statement, and updated values were finalized in August.
