The College has a long history of service in communities throughout the state, the region, the nation and internationally. This commitment is reflected in the mission of our College: The Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health is dedicated to promoting the health of communities in the southwest and globally with an emphasis on achieving health equity through excellence in education, research & service. It is also clearly reflected in the extensive involvement of our faculty, academic professionals, staff and students in numerous partnerships with communities to improve the quality of life in our region.
