Join us as we welcome Sheila Champlin, Director of Marketing & Communications for UT Health Science Center who is celebrating 100 years in our community!

Sheila will talk about the dramatic impact that UTHSC makes in our community, as they are a “quiet partner” who plays a pivotal role in so many aspects of healthcare in Memphis.

Overview

Many Memphians simply do not realize that UTHSC has an economic impact of almost $2 billion on the Memphis economy every year, bringing in about $100 million in research grants and sponsored projects funding annually. UTHSC is comprised of nearly 7,000 people including its students, faculty, and staff.

UT Health Sciences Center was awarded a Platinum MarCom Award for their Centennial Campaign, which served to raise awareness in the community about the significant impact that the organization makes.

From Quiet Partner to Centennial Splash will cover:

– A Little Research Goes A Long Way
– Start Early & Work Inside Out
– Take Pride & Tell Your Stories
