5 During his commissioning ceremony , second-year student Nicholas Ryan took an oath, signed the papers and will serve at least four years with the U.S. Navy after his residency. Ryan was administered his oath by retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. John W. “Bill” Goodwin, who is director for nuclear power generation systems at Auburn University’s Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. Go Navy!

6 VCOM-Auburn was near the path of totality for the Solar Eclipse on August 21. Students, faculty and staff congregated on the patio and lawn to wonder at this rare astronomical phenomenon (with safety glasses, of course).

7 It was easy to see and hear the excitement as friends and family watched their loved ones walk across the stage to receive their white coats on Sunday, October 15. We are proud of these students, and we know that they will represent VCOM well as they continue their journey toward becoming osteopathic physicians. Congratulations class of 2021!

8 VCOM-Auburn faculty, staff and students were able to dress up for Halloween on October 31 with a $2 donation to the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation. Additionally, members of Hispanic Community Medical Outreach (HCMO) held a bake sale where they offered delicious Mexican sweet breads and hot chocolate in honor of Dia de los Muertos . Proceeds went toward gifts for children on international medical outreach trips.
