MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OUR MISSION

On behalf of the Board of Directors, want to thank our generous donors for helping to support our mission this past year. We are pleased to welcome new partners and sponsors who joined us for our third annual Together Strong 5K, and are always grateful to our amazing alumni who continue to give back through fundraising opportunities in support of scholarships at their universities.

This strong support helps us to evolve and align with the Adtalem Global Education family and its mission to empower students and members to achieve their goals, find success and make inspiring contributions to our global community.

In 2022, we shifted management of the Empower Scholarship Fund under the Adtalem Sustainability team for greater exposure and collaboration with leadership. This move also allows us to raise awareness and advance Adtalem’s commitment to educational access and equity. We also introduced scholarships for students at newly acquired Walden University.
