The Association of Women Surgeons is dedicated to the mission of inspiring and supporting women in all stages of medical training and to inspire, encourage, and enable female surgeons to achieve their personal and professional goals. To that end, the establishment of student chapters at medical schools both within the United States and abroad will facilitate the success of aspiring women surgeons by 1) highlighting practicing role models at local institutions and within the community, 2) providing networking and mentorship opportunities with surgeons and surgical residents, and 3) providing a forum for open discussion and collaboration on strategies related to professional development and the challenges woman surgeons face. Ultimately, this unique focus will provide opportunities in which personal and professional interests, concerns and common experiences can effectively be addressed.

Mission
The Pre-Alumni Association of Meharry Medical College shall promote a continuously improving relationship between students, faculty, staff, and administration by providing avenues for the sharing of ideas for the good of Meharry and our mutual welfare. The main objective is to promote a spirit of cooperation. The Association and its members shall actively engage in those activities, which serve to promote unity among blacks and minorities and to provide channels for growth and progress within that same segment.

Membership Benefits
The goals of this year's administration are as follows: increase student involvement in Pre-Alumni, promote an open dialogue between the student body organizations and Pre-Alumni, create positive interaction between students of all schools, and improve student facilities. We believe that if students in each of the schools were able to take a more individual role in their student government than not only would participation in events sponsored by the Pre-Alumni Association increase, but also participation in events sponsored by other student organizations would increase. Our approach to addressing these goals is two fold:

First, we plan to work closely with other student leaders on campus to involve all students in Pre-Alumni activities and the decision making process.
Second, we plan to utilize the student life committee and work actively with faculty and staff to address student concerns.
