¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø

¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø will host a symbolic ribbon-tying event on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 11 a.m., to celebrate the establishment of the new ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø College of Podiatric Medicine, formerly known as the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine.

Faculty, staff, students, alumni, local officials and friends of the university and the new college are invited to attend the event, which will take place at the campus of the ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø College of Podiatric Medicine located at 6000 Rockside Woods Blvd. in Independence. As opposed to a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the event is a ribbon tying, signifying the two institutions – ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø and the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine – coming together to become the ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø College of Podiatric Medicine.

The event will begin with opening remarks, followed immediately by a luncheon reception and facility tours.

The College of Podiatric Medicine officially became a part of ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø on July 1 in a friendly acquisition that offers expanded academic options for podiatry students, including strategic partnerships with other ¾ÅÓÎÓéÀÖ¹ÙÍø colleges.
