MSUCOM Heads North…
Staff from MSUCOM’s Alumni Office journeyed to Northern Michigan in October to connect with alumni from the region. On October 22, the college held a reception and dinner at the Park Place Hotel in Traverse City and hosted another dinner with alumni in Cheboygan. The dinners offered a great opportunity to meet with alumni who don’t often make it back to East Lansing. The Alumni Office plans to hold more regional meetings throughout the year, so look for MSUCOM coming to your area.

The college held its regular Alumni Luncheon, which included the presentation of alumni awards. John Everett, D.O., Class of 1987, and Darrell Grace, D.O., Class of 1992, both received the Dean’s Award for Meritorious Contribution. MSUCOM also held a “Tailgate Party” for alumni, faculty, students and friends.

Flu Shots
Doctors from MSUCOM and the Michigan Osteopathic Association took their practice to the Capitol on Wednesday, October 8, to provide flu vaccinations for state senators, state representatives and legislative staff. The yearly event helps raise awareness of medical issues – such as immunization – and allows MSUCOM faculty members and other osteopathic physicians a chance to meet and interact with state legislators.
