Due to the enduring relationships my office develops with students, many of whom work closely with me and Debra R. Gibbs, B.A., our medical communications coordinator, a sense of parental pride develops when I watch students to whom I’ve grown close graduate from the college and embark on their careers. This issue of COM Outlook proudly commemorates the myriad achievements of the class of 2017. As you will read in the graduation highlights and awards section, a number of our newly minted osteo- pathic physicians received well-deserved awards for their academic, community service, and research prowess. We also highlight the achievements of new alumna Lauren Boudreau, D.O., who served as president of the Student Government Association and was a star athlete during her undergraduate days as an NSU student. Beyond our graduation focus, this issue is replete with an interesting mix of stories and updates on our students, faculty and staff members, and alumni. In the faculty profile “A Passion for Positivity: Assistant Dean Relishes Academic Role,” Janet Hamstra, Ed.D., M.S., discusses her life and the career path she followed. In the faculty perspective piece “Research in Grenada Addresses Importance of Pap Tests and HPV Awareness,” Kamilah B. Thomas- Purcell, Ph.D., M.P.H., MCHES, shares details of the vital research project she is involved with to improve women’s health. In the article “Longtime Administrator Retires After 19 Years,” we bid a fond farewell to Johneta Goodwin, director of administrative operations, who served as the college’s unoffi- cial “den mother” for almost two decades. Finally, in “Crisis Management in Action,” we detail the tornado-related trials and tribulations faced by James M. Turner, D.O., M.P.H., FACOFP, FACOEP, a 1988 alumnus who serves as dean of the William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. As we close the book on the class of 2017 graduation events, we also warmly welcome the incoming class of 2021 students, who will look to follow in the illustrious footsteps of those who came before them. Good luck!

  • RVU Class of 2020 Commencement Program (PDF)
    Mission Statement Rocky Vista University provides quality healthcare education while inspiring students to serve with compassion, integrity, and excellence. Class of 2020 Commencement Friday, First of May, Two-Thousand Twenty Letter from the President To Rocky Vista University’s Class of 2020, This year’s Commencement is dedicated to our students and faculty as they played, and continue to play, a significant role in the COVID-19 Pandemic. Not since 1918 has our Country’s medical professionals been challenged by such a far-reaching pandemic. It challenges us, as a graduate healthcare University, to insist on the most advanced educational technologies and curricular emphasis, while never forgetting our commitment to the healing power and the importance of body, mind, and spirit. We are proud of the stellar performance and eagerness of the Class of 2020 to launch into the next phase of medical education. You came to RVU with a sense of purpose, a desire to make a difference, and today, I remind you that your journey is never complete. The faculty and staff have provided you with the tools for success and wish you every joy and happiness a life of service can bring. Today is a day of gratitude: gratitude to your family, friends, and faculty—all of whom share in your pride and accomplishment. To our medical school graduates, the people that are not here are your future patients, the individuals and families you will be privileged to touch. The “DO Touch” encompasses compassion, caring, and expertise in your chosen specialty. Every day, we hear tragic sto- ries of families devastated by not being with their loved ones at their hour of need; this sorrow will reside in their hearts and minds forever.
