Meharry Medical College’s original Alumni Association was chartered in 1925. Records indicate that there was no activity for a period of time that resulted in the loss of the charter. In December 1986, the corporate charter was reinstated as the Meharry National Alumni Association, Inc.
The Association became a freestanding organization in 2002, separate from the College. It retains its original mission, goals, and objectives in partnership with Meharry Medical College, as outlined in the Operational Agreement between the College and the Association.
And in the tradition of its founders, the Association enhances and shapes the focus of its activities to promote:
- Support and assistance to students;
- Congeniality among Alumni;
- Good will among Alumni toward the College;
- Information to Alumni about the activities of the College;
- Chapter establishment and development; and
- Financial development that support the endowment of the College as well as other priority needs identified by the College.

I will encourage gifted, mission oriented students to consider Meharry as the institution for study in the health sciences. I will network with my fellow Meharrians. I will give generously of my finances to the extent that I am able to do so. I will always conduct myself in a manner to make my alma mater, Meharry Medical College proud.
This Oath I take on the ___________(Date) of May ________.

We also host a Meharry Alumni Banquet at each convention.
