PURPOSE & MISSION
As the Fertitta College of Medicine continues to grow and establish itself as an innovative
leader in medical education in Houston, Texas and beyond, the role of the Founders’
Council is more critical than ever. Members serve as key advisors to the Dean and ambassadors who further the College’s mission by engaging the community, securing needed resources and working collectively to
elevate the national profile and recognition of the College as an ideal destination
for exceptionally qualified faculty and students aligned with its mission. Members
commit to staying informed on strategic priorities of the College, supporting ongoing
fundraising efforts, and opening doors within their networks and connections.
The Council’s efforts will be consistent with the Fertitta College of Medicine mission
and goals as well as Liaison Committee on Medical Education accreditation standards,
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation standards and other applicable
guidelines and standards.
