Dear Students, 教师, and 工作人员:
As we make continued progress in Old Dominion University's proposed integration with Eastern Virginia Medical School, regular updates will be 分享d with the campus community. 每个月, you will receive an integration update with various highlights on recent developments through news items, a Q&A, and other resources.
Establishing an academic health sciences center in Hampton Roads will offer tremendous benefits to ODU, EVMS, 该地区, and the Commonwealth. 在一起, we can enhance health care, strengthen educational programs, bolster the workforce pipeline, and address health and economic disparities facing fellow citizens.
As previously 分享d, integrating is not a foregone conclusion, but we continue to make significant advancements on this historic journey!
With Monarch Pride, Brian O. Hemphill, Ph值.D.
