About the College of Medicine Dean’s Society

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences seal for the College of Medicine, featuring a circular emblem with the university name, a central shield labeled “Medicine,” a staff-and-serpent symbol, the motto “To Teach, To Serve, To Search,” and the year 1879.

Through membership in the College of Medicine Dean’s Society, alumni, former house staff, and friends provide critical unrestricted support that strengthens our medical education, research, and clinical innovation.

These gifts give the Dean flexible resources to advance student success, faculty excellence, and transformative programs that improve health outcomes.
