Giving Back
New Alumni

Some recent graduates of the College of Osteopathic Medicine have taken an opportunity to show their gratitude to their new alma mater. Five new OMM tables were purchased for the osteopathic manipulative medicine lab in E-106 Fee Hall, with money donated by the Class of 2002.

The money was raised at various fundraisers throughout the students’

four years at MSUCOM, and was left unspent at graduation. Ruth Baer, D.O., treasurer for the Class of 2002, says that the students raised much more than they expected. “There was a tremendous need in the OMM department,” she explains. “We as a class benefited greatly from our OMM training, and giving the extra money back to the college was the right thing to do.”

In addition to the OMM tables, a donation was made to the Michigan Osteopathic College Foundation OMM Fellowship Fund, which allows an osteopathic student to receive one year of fellowship training in manual medicine.

CAPTIAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE

The Capital Campaign has been a big success, but MSUCOM is looking to raise even more funds for endowments and scholarships. The college has reached its initial goal of $8.35 million and has set a new target of $13.6 million.
