Dell Medical School is rethinking the role of academic medicine in improving health. We are a 21st-century medical school, designed from the ground up at a top-tier research university, in a vibrant, entrepreneurial, socially conscious and conscientious city. Our vision is to build a vital, inclusive health ecosystem and our mission focuses on transforming the way people get and stay healthy. As we work together to shape the future of medical education, care and research, we follow these fundamental values: 1. We put health at the center of all we do. 2. We are always building better. 3. We are one team embracing our shared vision. 4. We create our ideal workplace every day. Learn more about our company culture at www.dellmedschool.utexas.edu/culture. The medical school was created in unprecedented partnership with local taxpayers, who in 2012 voted to support a vision for better health in Austin and Travis County. Community is at the heart of everything we do. From the people of Travis County; to key partners Seton Healthcare Family and Central Health; to UT Austin and the UT System; to local physicians, nonprofits, entrepreneurs and the families we serve and care for; we are connected in deep and meaningful ways to our community. Dell Medical School and its teaching hospital, Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas, are part of a vibrant health district that is developing in downtown Austin. The district physically links us to our key partners and further strengthens our ties to the community. The district includes three Dell Medical School buildings with 600,000 square feet of space dedicated to innovative education, care and research. We are celebrating the creativity, diversity and innovation happening around us, and we`re doing it with a focus on improving health and making Austin a model healthy city for the nation.

Zaytuna College, the first Muslim liberal arts college in the United States, began in 1996 as Zaytuna Institute in Hayward, California, co-founded by Hamza Yusuf and Hesham Alalusi. During its early years in the San Francisco Bay Area, the institute, through its educational programs, publications, and productions, established an international reputation for its efforts to help revive Islam`s educational and intellectual legacy and to popularize traditional learning among Western Muslims. In 2004, noting the paucity of religious leaders with the cultural literacy to tend to the spiritual and pastoral needs of American Muslims, Zaytuna Institute launched a pilot seminary program. Under the guidance of Zaid Shakir, the program trained and graduated five students in 2008. After the culmination of the pilot program, the Board of Directors of Zaytuna Institute (later renamed the Board of Trustees of Zaytuna College) guided the organization through a seismic transition, with the goal of establishing an accredited Muslim institution of higher education in the United States. In 2009, Zaytuna College was launched in Berkeley, California, by Hatem Bazian, Zaid Shakir, and Hamza Yusuf. The Summer Arabic Intensive, a two-month, residential language course, was its first academic program. Subsequently, the undergraduate program welcomed its inaugural freshman class for the Fall 2010 semester.
