Purpose

the College of Medicine by furthering communication, connectivity, continuity and solidarity of mission and
vision among non-faculty employees across geographically dispersed locations.
Focus Areas
Communication - Support effective, reliable and consistent internal communication (formal and informal)
across all locations
Connectivity - Sustain connectivity; foster association and transparency throughout departments and campuses
Continuity - Standardize processes (when possible) and constancy of operational values
Camaraderie - Enhance the concept of “One College of Medicine” operating in multiple locations; support unity
of the College, cohesion of mission and vision, and personal investment of employees
Meetings
Meetings are slated to occur monthly with programming efforts to include: mentoring, resource and
information sharing, professional development, collective troubleshooting, affiliation, talent teaming and
pooling, and introduction to new technologies or applications.

I Am SAM
The SAM award stands for “Serving to Advance the Mission,” and will be
given to a faculty or staff member who works to achieve the mission of the
college.
Recipients will exemplify the characteristics of the college’s own “SAM,”
Samuel H. Black, Ph.D., a beloved and founding faculty member of the
College of Medicine.
Each COM location has a SAM award to be
given as employees are spotted doing
something to better the college. That person
then passes on the award to someone else
who they see doing something extraordinary.
