Dear People of the AOMA community
Happy New Year...
Here is to wishing you great health, wealth, happiness and harmony. It is such a great privilege to serve where transforming lives and communities is the mission.
In reflection, 2009 was an amazing year for AOMA. We achieved membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools http://sacs.org/. This is a unique honor and it makes AOMA a representative of high quality education in the field of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. Anne Province
The facilities team timed and performed the build out of a new clinic for AOMA that is sparkly. Smart rooms were implemented, so that the LCD projectors are drop downs from the ceiling. The foot print of the campus was reconstructed around a “back quad” with the Coi pond and turtles in the center. All of the potential chaos was contained and the move happened in a way that people were comfortable, and change management can be a demanding set of efforts. Kudos to the facilities team – Stuart Bailey and Aaron Shafer . Linda Fontaine – the genius negotiator made it possible and Anne Provicnce the genious planner made the timelines spot on!
The Student Association leadership under Cynthia Clark has flourished with learning activities and participation in national professional association activities. AOMA is truly fortunate to have such a committed and active group of students. It is often times difficult to raise one’s head above the demands of building the knowledge, skills and abilities of a new profession. This group of people has a vision and I believe will make a difference in the field.
It is AOMA’s faculty who are the resource that these efforts are built to ensure
