OPEN HOUSE
MSUCOM held its annual Open House on Friday, March 28. Hundreds of people visited Fee Hall and got a closer look at the world of osteopathic medicine. Prospective students were given tours led by current MSUCOM students, spoke with admissions counselors and academic program advisors, and were treated to a presentation on “A Day in the Life of a Medical Student.”
Guests of the college also received free health assessments and hands-on demonstrations in the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine lab and listened to medical case presentations from MSUCOM faculty.
The Open House also included an art exhibit featuring numerous works by students, faculty, staff, and even some grateful patients.

ROARING ‘20s DANCE
The students of MSUCOM pulled off another big success at the 9th Annual Charity Raffle and Roaring ’20s Dance, sponsored by the Michigan Osteopathic Association. The event was held on Friday, February 7, at Hawk Hollow Clubhouse in Bath. Nearly 100 faculty, staff, students and guests attended the dance, most of them dressed in the fashion of the Great Gatsby era. The guests enjoyed food, music, and dance lessons.
The event raised over $8,000, of which $5,000 was donated to this year’s selected charity, Eve’s House. Founded as the Council Against Domestic Assault (CADA) 25 years ago, Eve’s House provides shelter and supportive services for the victims of domestic violence in the community, while seeking to end domestic violence through public awareness and community education. The remainder of the proceeds went to the MSUCOM Student Council, which hosted the event as their yearly fundraiser.
