MSUCOM was built and sustained by the gifts of
those visionaries dedicated to preserving the future
of the osteopathic profession. Many of these gifts
are material. Many, however, cannot be deducted
on a Schedule A, such as enthusiasm, advocacy and
voluntarism for the college. All are important. All
have brought us to today’s level of excellence, the
most recent reminder of which is U.S.News & World
Report’s recently ranking us as fourth among all
primary care medical schools in the nation.
This issue of Communiqué celebrates the role of
development – the gifts and grants to MSUCOM
that keep us vital. Two of Merriam-Webster’s definitions of “to develop” are
particularly useful: “to work out the possibilities of” and “to make active or
promote the growth of.” Those whose names are listed on our honor roll
(pages 8-13) are providing economic lifeblood for our college, without which
we would not be celebrating the successes we have today.
As you know, the situation is fragile at the moment. With the deep cuts
to higher education because of the state’s economy, Michigan’s public
universities are bearing large reductions in their budgets. (This 6.5% cut,
combined with the 3.5% already taken for this fiscal year, means a 10%
reduction, more than $39 million for MSU.) Though we don’t yet know
specifically how this will impact our college, there’s no doubt that it will
be painful. But if we take the initiative, keep positive, work together,
communicate precisely, plan carefully and remain flexible, we can minimize
the damage.
As your dean, I have two major priorities in dealing with this crisis.
First, we will do everything in our power not to compromise the quality of
education offered by MSUCOM. We are producing professionals who will
make life and death decisions each day, and we have a moral obligation to
train the best physicians possible. Second, we will do all we can to minimize
the human impact of these cuts among our faculty, staff and students.
There’s much you can do to help. Please educate yourself as much as
possible about Michigan’s budget problems, and keep abreast of news about
higher education funding, especially for MSU. Consider a timely donation
to MSUCOM, or augmenting your gift. Our development officer, Sharon
Snyder, (517) 355-8355, will be happy to assist you.
Thank you for all you are and for all you do. Thank you for your gifts
– material and nonmaterial – to MSUCOM. Thank you for remaining active
with us in creating a positive and healthy future.

The Power of Giving
by Steven D. Bevier
The MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine was built on the contributions of the
community that it serves and the doctors it created. Development has always been
a vital component of the college’s growth and maturity. The college would literally
not exist were it not for the Michigan Osteopathic College Foundation, which was
established by donations from D.O.s across the state. (See page 16.) MSUCOM is a stateassisted school, but it relies on the generous donations of alumni, faculty, staff, students,
doctors, patients and grateful members of the community. This issue of Communiqué
highlights just some of the examples of development gifts that have enriched the
college, improved the quality of education and promoted the osteopathic philosophy.
Students
Focusing on the Individual
Medical Scholars. The program identifies undergraduates
who have a strong interest in osteopathic medicine, and
offers them conditional acceptance to MSUCOM upon
completion of the program. Norma Baptista, Ph.D.,
faculty adviser for the Scholars, says the program has
been successful, but she would like to do more. “Part of
the osteopathic philosophy is the focus on individuals,”
she explains. “We want to be able to give the students
more attention and really make them feel like a part of the
The choice to earn a D.O. degree requires a tremendous
commitment of time and energy. It is also expensive, with
the cost of a four-year degree running well over $150,000.
As part of the new Campaign for MSU, the College
of Osteopathic Medicine has recently targeted several
funding areas that would be of great benefit to the student
population.
One goal is the
establishment of more
student scholarships to help
with the growing cost of
medical school. “We have
many scholarships available,”
says William Falls, Ph.D.,
associate dean for student
services, “but none exceeds
$5,000 and only one follows
a student for four full
years.” He adds that more
scholarship money could
serve as a recruitment tool
for students who are worried
that the cost of medical
school may be prohibitive.
MSUCOM is committed
to attracting the best and
brightest. One program that

college.” She agrees that scholarship opportunities would
be an effective way to attract a larger pool of talented
candidates.
Attracting the Best and the Brightest
Mario Alvarado was a student at the University of
California-Berkeley when he began to think about his
postgraduate plans. “I was always interested in science,”
he says, “but I wanted to do something where I would
have contact with real people.” He began researching and
found that a D.O. program and the study of osteopathic
manipulative medicine was just what he was seeking. That
led to the decision to attend Michigan State.
One of the hardest challenges medical students face is
simply finding a way to pay for their education. For outof-state students like Mr. Alvarado, the challenge is even
greater. In order to ease his burden, he chose to take a big
risk. He delayed his admission to MSUCOM for one year
and moved to Michigan to establish in-state residency.
“I had just gotten married, but I came here by myself to
find a job and a place to live,” he explains. “I didn’t know
anyone. I didn’t even have a car. All I had was my bike to
get around town.” It was a tough transition for him and his
wife, but they found work, while he waited to begin medical
school. Mr. Alvarado settled in and eventually joined the
Class of 2004.
The move was a big gamble, and he had to delay the
start of his education for a full year, but he says he would
do it again. “It was a long process and I had to be very
careful to make sure all the details were taken care of. But it
was definitely worth the wait.” He has since advised other
out-of-state students to follow the same path, but with one
caution. “If you’re absolutely sure that this is the right place
for you, then I would recommend it.”
Mr. Alvarado made the choice to attend MSUCOM no
matter the sacrifice, but for others the choice is not as easy.
“Cost is the number one thing,” says Dr. Falls. “It makes it
difficult to recruit students, especially minority and out-ofstate candidates.”
Scholarships have helped many students – including
Mr. Alvarado – but the college is eager to encourage more
opportunities. “Many of our scholarships are started by
alumni,” Dr. Falls adds. “They know what students go
through, because they’ve been through it themselves. It’s an
excellent way for them to give back.”
Student scholarships also serve another goal of
the college, which is increasing student diversity.
MSUCOM already has several scholarships targeted to
underrepresented minorities. But Dr. Baptista says the
college needs more opportunities to avoid losing students
to other schools. “We’ve had several qualified candidates
that have unfortunately gone to other schools because of the
cost. We need more financial incentives to attract the best

students.”
Alumni
Giving Back to the Alma Mater
While a student at MSUCOM, Robert G.G. Piccinini,
D.O., F.A.C.N., spent six weeks in Italy on an overseas
study trip. The trip was a particularly meaningful one for
him. “It really gave me an appreciation for how medicine can
be practiced in other cultures,” he says. The trip was also
special for another reason. He got to see a part of the world
that is close to his family’s heart.
Dr. Piccinini, Class of 1992, had two grandparents who
immigrated to the United States from Italy: his maternal
grandmother, Ida Amici, in the 1920s, and his paternal
grandfather, Amedeo Piccinini, in the 1960s.
Both grandparents greatly influenced Dr. Piccinini’s life.
“They taught me an appreciation and respect for other
cultures,” he says. “My grandfather used to remind me
about a doctor he knew who spoke five languages. He was
impressed that the doctor could treat patients in any of
those languages.” A farmer in Italy before he came to the
U.S., the grandfather taught himself to read and write in

English.
That encouragement and love for learning inspired Dr. Piccinini to
become a doctor himself and also to give back to the community and
to his alma mater. A practicing clinical psychiatrist, he is the regional
coordinator for clinical faculty in the Detroit area and he serves on the
MSUCOM Alumni Association Board.
In addition, Dr. Piccinini recently made a substantial gift to the
college. A portion of the money will be used to establish the Amedeo
Piccinini Endowed Scholarship in honor of his grandfather. The
scholarship will assist students who wish to travel overseas while
in medical school, so that others can have the same experience he
enjoyed. A second endowed scholarship will be named in honor of Dr.
Piccinini’s grandmother and his mother, Filomena Amici.
“It’s important to understand that our ways are not the only ways,”
says Dr. Piccinini. “Not every culture approaches illness in the same
way, and knowing this can make a better doctor-patient relationship.”
Endowments, like the ones established by Dr. Piccinini, are an
important part of the college’s strategy for the future. “All donations
to the college are appreciated,” says Dean William D. Strampel, D.O.,
“but endowments are especially valuable. They are a legacy for the
college and for the osteopathic profession.”
At MSU, if a fund reaches $30,000 within the first five years, it
becomes fully endowed. The money is invested and only the interest
is spent while the principal remains in perpetuity. This is why Dr.
Strampel has made it one of his priorities to increase the number of
endowed chairs and scholarships. They not only provide funding but
also can serve as recruiting tools for students and faculty.
“Anything that improves the reputation of the school improves the
reputation of its graduates,” says Dr. Strampel. “For alumni, that makes
their degrees even more valuable.”
Honoring a Classmate
Stefan H. Kobiljak, D.O., was fresh out of medical school when
a tragic car accident cut short his life. However, the Class of 1985
graduate will not be forgotten in the halls of MSUCOM.
In fact, the Kobiljak name has become ubiquitous to MSUCOM
students, thanks to two rooms – the Kobiljak Computer Center
and the Kobiljak Resource Center – that have become entwined
with the students’ daily lives. The centers were established in 1991
by a substantial gift from the Kobiljak family. The facilities provide
computers for student use, high-speed Internet connections for
mobile computing, software, required readings and a host of other
resources that are a vital part of MSUCOM students’ education. They
also serve as hubs of student social and study activity, providing both
quiet areas and collaborative group spaces for student interaction.
The centers recently received another gift and, once again, the
Class of 1985 was a part of it. When the class graduated, there was
a small amount of funds left over from various class activities. The
person in charge of the money was class treasurer Larry Kage, D.O.
“The funds were put into a money market account and it was
basically forgotten about,” he explains. “Several years later, I was still
getting the statements, and I realized it had become quite a significant
amount.” In the 17 years since the class had graduated, a couple

into $7,500.
Dr. Kage, who has a
family practice in Flint, ran
into a few of his classmates
at alumni functions and
mentioned the money to
them. However, no one was
sure what should be done
with it. Finally, Dr. Kage

do was give the money back

by Dr.
Kage,”
states Mark
Notman, Ph.D., executive director of medical informatics
at MSUCOM. “With recent college efforts to promote
medical informatics throughout our curriculum, the use of
computer-mediated instruction has expanded quite a bit and
all the resources we can garner to support and expand this
are important,” he adds.
“When I got the e-mail I was almost in tears,” says
Debbie Porter, director of the Kobiljak Centers. “It means
a lot that the students are willing to give back to the school
and in honor of their classmate.” Mark Hodgins, who
oversees the computer lab, agrees. “This is their facility. We
work hard to be responsive to the students’ needs.”
That can be a challenge, especially when it comes to
keeping pace with the rapid changes in technology. In a time
of shrinking budgets, that challenge becomes even harder.
“It’s going to be impossible to keep up without these types
of gifts,” said Mr. Hodgins.
A portion of the $7,500 has been spent on some
necessary minor repairs. The remainder will be used, as
needed, to purchase equipment or software in support of the
college’s curriculum. Ms. Porter says the staff is careful to
spend the money wisely, so that they can make the most out
of this opportunity.
“It is an honor to be a part of a facility that was built as
MSUCOM
a memorial to one of our former students and is such an
integral part of daily life at MSUCOM,” says Ms. Porter. “I
feel a lot of pride of working here.”
Community
Devoted to Supporting
Osteopathic Medicine
The osteopathic profession has a rich tradition of helping
the community. The majority of graduates from MSUCOM
go on to work in primary care and community medicine.
That’s one reason why it is especially rewarding when the
community gives back to the profession.
There are several local foundations in Michigan that
are devoted to supporting osteopathic medicine. These
foundations have become important partners with
MSUCOM and have helped to fund various programs and
scholarship. Their generosity helps encourage osteopathic
students and fosters cooperation between the college and
the community.
Some recent gifts include the Riverside Osteopathic
Hospital Guild Endowed Scholarship and the Riverside
Medical Staff Endowed Scholarship. Another scholarship
was established by the Sinai Medical Staff Foundation, which
is associated with Sinai-Grace Hospital in Southfield.
Another partner is the Muskegon General
Osteopathic Foundation. The foundation provides
funding for Muskegon-area students who participate in
OsteoCHAMPS, a program designed to give high school
students an introduction to medicine and the osteopathic
philosophy.

Dynamic Dual
Medical Scientist Training Program
RESEARCH
by Steven D. Bevier
In the 1970s, the College of Osteopathic Medicine was a young organization. The
college’s first dean, Myron S. Magen, D.O., was charting a course for this new academic
institution. He recognized that the osteopathic profession needed more D.O.s who could
add to the body of scientific knowledge.
It was that idea that led to the creation of the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP),
a unique dual-degree program in which graduates receive both a D.O. and a Ph.D. in their
chosen field of biomedical science. The goal is to create a new generation of physicianresearchers, who can combine the research skills of a scientist with the knowledge of a fully
trained osteopathic doctor.
With the support of Dean Magen, MSTP was officially launched in 1979 under the
leadership of Philipp Gerhardt, Ph.D., the associate dean for research and graduate studies in
the college, who led the program through its formative years. He recruited the first students
and helped to develop their courses of study.
MSTP, says that today
Veronica Maher, Ph.D., current associate dean for graduate studies
and
director
there is
still
a greatofneed for
more physician-scientists.
“These persons are in a
unique position to focus
on the basic mechanisms
of disease,” she says. “The
more a physician knows
about how disease affects
the human body, the better
he or she is able to treat the
patient.”
This marks the 25th year
of MSTP, and a dinner was
held in May to honor the
occasion. MSTP students
past and present were
invited back to campus for
a trip down memory lane.
Dr. Gerhardt presented a
history of the program, and
several faculty members,
students, staff and alumni
were recognized for their
contributions. Since MSTP
began, 25 people have
earned both a Ph.D. and a
8 Research
D.O. degree within the program
The number of graduates may seem small, but MSTP
is very demanding. It generally takes students seven to
eight years to complete the requirements. Not only do
they undergo the full complement of osteopathic medical
education, but they also take graduate courses required for
the Ph.D. degree and under the guidance of their major
professor, for several years conduct independent scientific
research into an unsolved biomedical question.
Justin McCormick, Ph.D., associate dean for research,
agrees about the need for more physicians who are able
and willing to do scientific study. “When we bring new
D.O. faculty members here, they often lack the basic
research background that can be very useful at an academic
institution.”
One student who answered the challenge was John
Goudreau, D.O., Ph.D. Dr. Goudreau received his Ph.D.
from MSUCOM in 1994 and his D.O. in 1995. He then
went on to complete six years of residency and fellowship
training at the Mayo Clinic.
In early 2002, Dr. Goudreau was recruited by
MSUCOM to take a joint faculty position in the
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology and the
Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology. He is
a perfect example of the professional academic medical
scientist that MSTP creates. He has set up a laboratory
where his research focuses on dopamine neurons and the
treatment of Parkinson’s disease. He complements that
work by seeing patients at MSU’s Parkinson’s Clinic,
giving his research immediate impact. To top it all off, Dr.
Goudreau is in the classroom, teaching the osteopathic
students at MSUCOM.
“Dr. Goudreau is a marvelous role model for the
students in the Medical Scientist Training Program,” says
Dr. Maher. “We are very pleased that he has returned to
MSU.”
Why did Dr. Goudreau take on such a demanding
career? “I love what I’m doing,” he says. He adds that
his research training allows him to study medicine with
more depth, to learn the “nuts and bolts” of disease and
treatment. Earning two graduate degrees, followed by
post-doctoral education at the Mayo Clinic took a lot of
time and effort, but he says, “I would do it over again a
million times.”
Dr. Maher says that MSUCOM is committed to
growing the program, and Dean Strampel has made it
one of his top priorities, providing significant funding to
maintain it even in a period of financial stress. Students
receive financial support from the college, but the full
cost associated with seven-to-eight years of intensive
study can be a strain on students. One source of support
is the Phyllis K. and Walter P. Dell Endowed Scholarship,

anniversary celebration.

Scholarship
which is awarded to a student in MSTP each year. The Dells
were also recognized at the recent MSTP dinner for their
contribution to the program.
MSTP has continued to expand, and as of Fall 2003
nine students will be enrolled and working toward their
degrees. For prospective students considering the dualdegree program, Dr. Goudreau offers one piece of advice.
“Be absolutely sure that it’s the right thing for you,” he says.
“It’s long road, but if you love what you’re doing, you won’t
regret it.”

Embracing Diversity
through College Programs
by Steven D. Bevier
DIVERSITY EDUCATION SERIES
Amina Khalil speaks to the college about Islam and
what it means for doctors with Muslim patients.
An analysis of diversity in the curriculum, studies of best
practices, research on attitudes and beliefs about diversity among
students, and a diversity speaker series are all part of a new Diversity
Education Project at MSUCOM.
The project, developed by Sandy Kilbourn, executive director
of external programs, and Pat Grauer, director of public relations, is
funded by a $17,000 grant from the Office of the Provost.
The speaker series was developed through feedback from
students, faculty, and staff. Certain themes – poverty, justice,
sexuality, Islam, and Hispanic and African-American cultures – were
identified as being of the highest interest, and experts were asked to
come and share their knowledge.
The series began in January with a celebration of Martin Luther
King Jr. Day. The Reverend Russell McReynolds, D.Min., senior
pastor of Central United Methodist Church in Lansing, spoke about
the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his commitment to peace
and justice.
Since then, speakers from various backgrounds have come to
speak about diversity. Kathy Kleinert, D.O., Class of 1992, shared
her story about opening a health clinic for the poor in inner city
Detroit. Amina Khalil discussed Islam and issues that arise when
working with Muslim patients, and El Paso educator Rosa Guerrero
gave a presentation on Latino culture and health issues that included
dance, music and poetry. Additional programs are being planned on
the topics of gender and sexuality.
Check our Web site, http://www.com.msu.edu, for updates on
future speakers.
VISITING MINORITY FACULTY
LECTURE SERIES
The Visiting Minority Faculty Lecture Series has entered its third
year at MSUCOM and the program has already become a smashing
success. The series titled, “From Slavery to Freedom: An American
Odyssey,” brings distinguished speakers to the Michigan State
campus, to deliver lectures about African-American history and the
Civil Rights Movement. The series has developed a loyal following
and hundreds of people came out to listen and learn from this year’s
presenters.
Coinciding with Black History Month, each Thursday in February
16 Diversity
provided a unique opportunity for the
community to learn about the struggle for civil
rights from the people who lived it. This year’s
guests included
 Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon: A scholar,
singer, composer, producer and the
founder of the world-renowned a cappella
ensemble Sweet Honey In The Rock, Dr.
Reagon shared her vast knowledge of the
roots of African-American music, sang
songs of protest from the civil rights era,
and challenged the audience to take the
risks necessary for justice
 The Reverend Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson:
The senior pastor of Grace Baptist Church
in Mount Vernon, NY, with a congregation
of over 4,000 members, Rev. Richardson
spoke about the struggle for educational
and economic opportunities for black
people in America and the goal of ending
the inequality in our country
 Dr. William Anderson: A clinical professor
of osteopathic surgical specialties at
MSUCOM, Dr. Anderson demonstrated
the importance of Black History
Month and the need for people of all
races to understand and appreciate the
contributions that African-Americans have
made to society
 Mr. Tom Hayden: A Freedom Rider during
the 1960s, Tom Hayden served 18 years in
the California Legislature, representing the
city of Los Angeles. Mr. Hayden discussed
the history of his Irish ancestors and the
struggles of underrepresented minorities
throughout our country’s history.
In addition to giving their presentations,
the visiting scholars take time to teach to
MSU students on campus. The fourth Visiting
Minority Faculty Lecture Series is scheduled
for February 2004.

Christine VanDeuren at work in
the development office.
by Pat Grauer
Have you heard the old story about the two men interrupted
at work one day? Asked what he was doing, one answered that
he was digging a hole. The second, however, replied that he was
building a cathedral.
Christine VanDeuren’s vision of her job is of the cathedralbuilding variety. Development assistant at MSUCOM, she
works with Sharon Snyder, director of development, to ensure
that the donation process to the college is as smooth, easy and
efficient as possible.
“My favorite part of the job is to see how happy people
are when they make their dreams come true through their
philanthropy,” she says, providing a breadth of perception that is
reflected in the product. She doesn’t just work with computers
and lists and letters and phone calls. She’s working with people
– people with dreams who have toiled hard to develop the
resources to make them a reality.
She began her career at the university in 1996, working
for the MSU Foundation/Planned Giving and the Major Gifts
units at University Development before coming to MSUCOM
in 1999. Raised in Lansing, she received her B.A. in business
management from Northwood University.
In her position she handles a multitude of tasks, including
maintaining records, sending out acknowledgment letters,
handling deposits and compiling reports.
Outside the office Ms. VanDeuren enjoys her family, bike
riding, scrapbooking, gardening at their new Williamston home,
and water aerobics.
What’s her message to those considering donations to
MSUCOM? “Every dollar counts,” she says. “Every donation
helps to fulfill the dreams of a future doctor.”

MICHIGAN OSTEOPATHIC ASSOCIATION
MOCF: MSUCOM’s Private Partner
Dennis Paradis
By Dennis M. Paradis, M.P.H.
MOA Executive Director
The year was 1959. Alan Potts, D.O., was being
installed as president of the Michigan Association of
Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons. In his presidential
address, Dr. Potts announced that Michigan would be the
home of the next college of osteopathic medicine. This
was a daunting task considering that no new osteopathic
schools had been opened for 30 years. But in an effort to
make Dr. Potts’ predictions come true, the osteopathic
profession created a charity named the Michigan
Osteopathic College Foundation (MOCF).
The first contribution to MOCF was a $1,000 check
from the Detroit Osteopathic Hospital Auxiliary. Soon
after that, the Michigan Association of Osteopathic
Physicians and Surgeons membership voted to tax
themselves $2,000 (payable over 10 years) to create a
trust fund, and a large number of Michigan’s osteopathic
physicians contributed. With the support of MOCF,
the Michigan College of Osteopathic Medicine was
established in 1969 in Pontiac, Michigan, and became part
of Michigan State University in 1971.
Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic
Medicine (MSUCOM) has grown to become one of the
nation’s most respected medical schools for primary care.
During those 32 years of growth, MOCF has remained
MSUCOM’s private partner. Each year the MOCF trust
fund supports student grants or scholarships as well as a
variety of MSUCOM programs for which other funding
is not available. Examples of these projects include the
Kobiljak Computer Center, the Osteopathic Manipulative
18 MOA
Medicine Fellows Program, Communiqué and portions of
the MSUCOM convocation, graduation and Silverfest
programs. In 1997, MSU President Peter McPherson
presented the MOCF board with the Frank S. Kedzie
Award in recognition of $1 million in contributions to
MSUCOM.
MOCF is a shining example of what is best in the
osteopathic family — a willingness to reach out and
support the next generation of osteopathic physicians.
It started in 1959 when osteopathic physicians agreed
to tax themselves to create a trust fund that would serve
as a catalyst to build MSUCOM. Their leadership,
vision and generosity have benefited every student that
has attended MSUCOM. But that commitment didn’t
end 25 years ago. It continues to the present day. Each
time MOA members pay dues, they are asked to make a
contribution to the MOCF. Each year, the osteopathic
physicians of Michigan are asked to purchase tickets to
a dinner-dance to support the MOCF, and each year
Michigan osteopathic physicians reach into their pocket
or pocketbook and make a contribution to support the
next generation of osteopathic physicians.
As the executive director for MOCF, I hope that
you will participate in the great osteopathic tradition of
helping the next generation by supporting MOCF. In
these difficult economic times MSUCOM students and
programs need the support of their MOCF private partner
more than ever.

The weekend is a chance to get reacquainted with friends, colleagues and classmates.

Alumni Office On-line
Capabilities:
by Steven D. Bevier
Making it simple! The MSUCOM Alumni office has
put the change of address/information forms, membership
applications and Silverfest bio information on the web. Take
a moment to help us keep our records up to date.
Just a reminder, for every member of the MSU Alumni
Association who chooses the College of Osteopathic
Medicine as their constituent association, our alumni office
receives funding to help support our programs throughout
the year.
Steven Pitt, D.O., Class of 1986, shares his
experience with the graduates.
Dean William D. Strampel, D.O., opened the ceremony with
a greeting followed by an introduction of the keynote speaker,
Steven Pitt, D.O., MSUCOM Class of 1986. Dr. Pitt shared
stories of his years of experience as a forensic psychiatrist
and offered advice for the graduates on the importance of
communication and cooperation in the medical world.
PAY IT FORWARD
Greetings MSUCOM alumni!
That includes the most recent
addition to our association – the
Class of 2003. After having met
many of you throughout the last
year and on the stage at graduation,
I am certain that the future of our
profession is in good hands.
This is an important time for our alma mater. The college
is taking on new challenges and the field of osteopathic
medicine is growing. At the same time, economic issues are
challenging MSUCOM to develop new ways to serve the
needs of its students, faculty, staff and alumni.
It’s more important than ever that we keep the lines of
communication open. We are moving to continue a “twoway street” after graduation. Just this month we began
dialogue on enhancing CME activity online, so it can be
available anywhere, anytime for D.O.s worldwide. While
these discussions are underway, consider checking out the
CME opportunities that already exist at our current Web site
at http://www.com.msu.edu/cme/. Click on “CME Online”
in the left menu bar and find “Visualization of Osteopathic
Principles and Practice,” an online CME program by Rick
Hallgren, Ph.D.
20 Alumni Network
Keep us informed about what’s happening in your world
and we will keep you up-to-date on all the opportunities that
MSUCOM and the Alumni Association have to offer. To
help with this effort, we’ve established a new e-mail address:
alumni@com.msu.edu. Use it to send us your e-mail address
and that will make contacts between the school and alumni
quicker and easier.
Finally, I urge you to get involved. As we remember
where we were given opportunities in our professional
career path, it’s just as important to “pay it forward” with
new opportunities for students who will be the future of the
college and the D.O. profession. As members of the current
profession, consider how you might find a way to donate
your time or money to ensure our future tomorrow and for
generations to come.
There are a number of different ways that you can
contribute and make the college stronger. Contributions of
your time, expertise and/or money will benefit us all. To find
out more on how you might be able to contribute, contact
Sharon Snyder at the MSUCOM Development Office either
at (517) 355-8355 or snydersw@msu.edu.
Until next time – GO GREEN!

who is also the class president, then addressed his classmates,
congratulating them on their accomplishments and wishing
them luck for the future.
William Falls, Ph.D., associate dean for student services,
then presented the degree candidates. With friends and family
cheering them on, each of the graduates strode across the
stage to receive the coveted green hood, the symbol of their
doctorate degrees. Then the new D.O.s recited the osteopathic
oath, officially signaling their arrival into the community of
physicians.

The journey was long and difficult, but the dreams of
131 determined men and women were finally realized. The

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.
Students hit the dance floor in their
best flapper outfits.
