I am pleased to announce that at graduation, every graduate will receive a memory book as a gift from Jack Brose, D.O., dean of OU-COM. A memory book is somewhat like a yearbook, but it documents the graduating class’s entire four years of medical education. The book will include portraits of the graduating class, as well as OU-COM faculty and staff. It will also include candid shots from significant events throughout the years, such as Convocation, group shots at CORE sites, CORE Welcome Dinner, talent follies, and other extracurricular experiences.

Do you have photos you would like to see in the memory book for graduates? We are accepting submissions for consideration until February 2, 2009, and will begin making selections as soon as photos come in. Appropriate photos include candid shots in a lab or clinical activity (no patients, without a signed release); international medicine experiences; spring break; wedding photos; holiday parties; special club, organization or sporting events; Medicine Run; D.O. Day on the Hill; D.O. Day at the Statehouse; and Career Medical Specialties Week, to name a few. Make sure that you provide the following image information: 1) name and year of event; 2) first and last names of student(s) photographed; 3) the graduation year in which the student(s) will graduate; that way, I can file them with the correct class.

Please submit good quality .jpg or .tif photos only. High resolution files scanned at 300 dpi or 2 MB or more work best.
