Auburn University and Tuskegee University

Leaders of Auburn University and Tuskegee University recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to expand partnerships between the universities and collaborate on community outreach.

The MOU is a commitment to blend resources and intellectual capacity to address racial and health disparities in communities across Alabama. Through faculty research and outreach collaborations, both universities will work to address lack of health care access and other social and health inequities.

“This partnership with Tuskegee University is a win-win for everyone, especially our students, researchers and outreach team,” Auburn University President Christopher Roberts said. “As a land-grant institution, it is important to work to eliminate disparities that limit opportunities for those in underserved areas. I am confident the collaboration that will emerge from this agreement will benefit students from both universities, as well as our neighboring communities.”
