Mission Statement

The mission of the Office of Community Relations and Special Projects/Pipeline Programs is to provide academic enrichment programs designed to prepare students for success in advanced studies leading to a career in health, allied health and biomedical research. Our primary goal is the development of educational pipeline programs that motivate, educate, and inspire young people to become the next generation of competent health professionals. A key component in our pipeline programs is the development of partnerships with school systems, churches, and community based organizations that address the needs of the underserved community. The initiatives described in the links provided on this web page are designed for elementary, middle and high school students.
