A celebration of excellence, impact, and the legacy of Meharry.

At the 151st Convocation, we proudly celebrated three distinguished alumni whose careers reflect the power of a Meharry education:

• Marquetta Faulkner, MD ’61, recipient of the Axcel C. Hansen, MD ’44 Distinguished Physician Award
• Edward H. Chappelle, DDS ’79, recipient of the Fred C. Fielder, DDS ’60 Distinguished Dentist Award
• Patrice E. Moss, PhD ’10, recipient of the Harold D. West, PhD Distinguished Biomedical Scientist Award

Each has translated their Meharry experience into a lifetime of service, leadership, and contributions to their professions and communities.

We were also honored to hear from our Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Nelson L. Adams II, MD ’78, who reminded us of the importance of knowing what drives us, trusting in our abilities, and pursuing that calling with courage.

Their stories are a reminder that the Meharry legacy does not end at graduation. It lives on in the work we choose to do and the lives we choose to impact.

YOUR LEGACY. YOUR MEHARRY. YOUR IMPACT.

As Meharry celebrates 150 years of transforming lives through education, research, and service, we are reminded that legacy is not only about what we leave behind. It is also about the choices we make today to care for the people and causes that matter most.

The Meharry Medical College Office of Gift Planning is offering complimentary educational opportunities this fall to help alumni and friends explore thoughtful charitable, financial, and legacy planning.

POV: The Office of Alumni Engagement pulled up! 🚗💨

Yesterday we hit the streets to visit some of our Nashville-area alumni and drop off a little Meharry love. Because alumni engagement is better when we take it beyond the office!

More stops. More stories. More Meharry.

Are you a Meharry alum in the Nashville area? Let us know if you’d like us to pull up to your office next!

We are so proud of you Dr. Farmer!

More than 1 in 4 Black dentists in America are Meharry graduates. And the Black woman running that dental school just stepped into a 103-year-old space no Black woman has ever occupied before.

Dr. Cherae Farmer-Dixon is the first Black woman to chair the Board of Directors of the American Dental Education Association. In that role, she'll help lead the organization that influences how future dentists are educated and trained across the country.

And she's Meharry through and through. Dr. Farmer-Dixon earned her own dental degree there and now serves as dean of the same dental school that's been training Black dentists since 1886.

More than a century after Meharry started opening doors for Black dentists, one of its own now has a hand in shaping what's next for dental education nationwide.

We see you Sis!
