On Wednesday, Dec. 11, the UIW School of Osteopathic Medicine (UIWSOM) hosted its Annual Military Match Day ceremony. The UIWSOM Office of Student Affairs and the UIW Office of Military and Veterans Affairs have hosted this ceremony since December 2020 to reveal and celebrate the placement of military-affiliated applicants seeking residency or postgraduate positions in military programs. This opportunity is exclusive to service persons eligible to participate in the residency match season, meaning they have completed all the requirements of their respective medical programs.
On Saturday, December 14, UIW’s Fall 2024 graduating class will cross the commencement stage to claim their hard-earned degrees, marking the beginning of a new chapter beyond the Nest. Each graduate is a reflection of UIW’s Mission to support students as they become enlightened citizens that embody the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word. One of these remarkable graduates is Mariana Garza.
On Monday, Dec. 9, the University commemorated the achievements of the Fall 2024 graduating class at the UIW Ring Ceremony, presented by Herff Jones. Initially held in 2016, the Ring Ceremony is typically hosted exclusively during spring semesters. A fall ceremony was added this year to accommodate the growing student interest and participation in what is now viewed as a beloved school tradition.
