Strategic Plan Letter from Dean Hakim Goals About
Our People
Build a thriving workplace
We will encourage an environment where everyone thrives professionally and feels included, respected, and valued.
MEZCOPH is known for its culture rooted in kindness and respect. Our College and workplace are celebrated for their inclusivity, diversity, and warmth. However, we must remember that culture is not static; it evolves with each recruit, every fresh initiative, and each annual budget allocation. Our resolute goal is to make MEZCOPH an exemplary environment for both work and learning, where individuals feel valued, embraced, and empowered to follow their passions and career aspirations.
To achieve this, we must consistently prioritize our people in all our endeavors. We will cultivate a culture of cooperation and reverence for the diverse array of roles represented among our faculty, staff, and students. Furthermore, we will invest in professional development, offering top-tier mentorship and fostering peer collaboration. We are committed to supporting every facet of our community's lives, including recognition programs, wellness promotion, and the nurturing of mental well-being.
A thriving workplace thrives on excellence, transparency, and accountability. Leadership must exemplify the coexistence of performance expectations and respect for a balanced life.
Our College is dedicated to improving the health of all individuals. This journey must begin with our community, for MEZCOPH is fundamentally defined by its people.
“We have created a workplace environment grounded in mutual respect and caring, and we must carry that forward. Our people are our most valuable asset. Public health is dedicated to helping others, and we can’t do that without a strong team where people collaborate, everyone is valued, and we have a healthy work-life balance.”
