What's New ?
|
MSUCOM alumni attendance broke all previous records this year at
the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) convention in Las Vegas.
Almost 200 former Spartans attended the alumni luncheon on October
8 to hear Dean William Strampel's update on the college. Alumni Association
President David Neff, D.O., Class of 1980, also spoke to the graduates
and encouraged their participation in college events such as Silverfest
and Seminar in the Sun.

Two alumni received the Dean's Award for Meritorious Contribution
during the luncheon. Steven Karageanes, D.O., Class of 1995, was
honored for his service in the days immediately following the September
11 terrorist attacks. He went to New York City to provide medical
care to the rescue workers at Ground Zero. Steven Pitt, D.O., Class
of 1986, was recognized for his outstanding reputation as a forensic
psychiatrist. Dr. Pitt has provided valuable help to such high-profile
cases as the Jon-Benet Ramsey death and the Columbine shootings.
New to college convention activities this year was a "tailgate"
reception for alumni and friends, held on October 6. The standing
room only crowd had a great time reminiscing about their days at
MSUCOM. The college exhibit, which ran throughout the convention,
was also well attended.

Shots for the Legislature
MSUCOM alumni and faculty, in conjunction with MOA members, administered
flu shots for over 130 Michigan senators and legislative staff at
the Capitol in November. This yearly event is part of the joint government
advocacy program between MSUCOM and MOA. It provides an opportunity
for MSUCOM and MOA to showcase the profession and interact with the
legislature.
