Authentic Partnerships

Goal 3: Authentic Partnerships

Create collaborations with communities and government, education, and industry sectors to improve the health and well-being of their members and constituents.

College of Health Strategic Plan, 2025-2030

Our vision of health and well-being is multidimensional – encompassing physical, mental, social and other aspects – and underscores the contributions of supportive environments in every stage of life.

At the heart of and crucial to achieving this vision is our commitment to nurturing authentic and mutually beneficial partnerships with communities, governments, industries, and educational institutions.

We anchor this work in the needs and values of all partners and honor diverse ways of knowing.

Through these collaborations, we advance scientific discovery, create educational opportunities, and co-create healthier and more equitable communities and populations.

Whether we are engaging members of underserved or marginalized communities, educators or health services professionals, fishermen or farmers, we transcend social and geographic borders to ensure health and well-being for all.
