13 VCOM-Auburn was the site for yet another special military commissioning ceremony on December 15. Class of 2020 member Kendall Talley was administered the oath by his father, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel with more than 26 years of service. Talley noted that he was especially grateful that friends, family and instructors were in attendance at this important commissioning event. Go Army!

14 For this New Year’s, VCOM- Auburn embarked on its first medical outreach trip to El Salvador. Students had the opportunity to serve in villages and in a local medical clinic throughout San Salvador.

15 On January 19, students awoke to VCOM-Auburn covered in a blanket of snow. This was a special occurrence as snow days like this are a rarity in central Alabama. Melting snow and low temperatures created havoc over the next few days by leaving icy patches on area roads.

16 The CMDA and AMWA student organizations held a Human Trafficking Workshop at VCOM-Auburn on February 17. Speakers included Safe Harbor Youth Executive Director Lynn Caffery, herself a human trafficking survivor, Children’s Hospital Intervention and Prevention Services (CHIPS Center) Medical Director, Melissa Peters, MD and Auburn-Opelika area oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Kenneth Zouhary, DMD, MD.
