ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½

ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ will host a symbolic ribbon-tying event on Wednesday, Aug. 8, at 11 a.m., to celebrate the establishment of the new ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ 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 ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ 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 – ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ and the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine – coming together to become the ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ 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 ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ on July 1 in a friendly acquisition that offers expanded academic options for podiatry students, including strategic partnerships with other ÇàÄêɬµ¼º½ colleges.
