Looking ahead, the Friedman School views strategic partnerships as
a way to more effectively leverage our faculty and financial resources
to carry out the school’s mission. Recent key partnerships include:

The Friedman School and the Clinton Foundation
will be working collaboratively on issues related
to HIV/AIDS and nutrition, and prevention of
overweight and obesity. In July 2006, faculty
visited Clinton Foundation staff in Ethiopia,
Kenya, Malawi, Lesotho, Rwanda and India.

The Friedman School was the only academic
institution selected, and we will be working with
USDA to promote “My Pyramid,” an interactive

government, throughout the United States.

In June 2006, the Friedman School was visited by
the highest ranking official of the United Nations
University. UNU has asked the Friedman School to
develop a proposal for the school to receive designation
as a UNU Associated Institution. In this role, the
Friedman School will work collaboratively with
UNU in increasing nutrition capacity worldwide.

The Friedman School is developing a master’s degree
in Nutrition via distance learning, creating a Health
and Wellness Center and creating short courses for
training physicians and allied health professionals in
Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), in the United Arab Emirates.
The development of short courses also provides
enormous potential to shape material into modules for
other uses, including access by the general public.

The Board of Overseers at the Friedman School has
been instrumental in forging new opportunities to
build upon the school’s strengths. In September 2006,
we inaugurated the Friedman School Symposium,
“Dietary Guidelines 2010: The Right Stuff.” This event
brought together leaders from industry, government,
and academia to discuss major nutrition issues, and
was underwritten by a range of public and private
sector sponsors. This important symposium will
become an annual signature event for the school.
