Although the Alumni Board voted in the spring of 2000 to support the faculty, the alumni as a whole have not been fully informed of the circumstances at KCOM and have not had the opportunity to get involved. Any alumni wishing to support a new course for our alma mater can join the cause of an improved KCOM. You may help in any of several ways. For more information we have formed an organization, KCOM Watch. Your questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome at kcomwatch @yahoo.com or you may phone anyone listed below. Documents mentioned in this letter will be available via e-mail or at www.geocities.com/kcomwatch/. An alumni summit meeting is planned for 2001.
The current Chairman of the KCOM Board of Trustees, Harold Thomas, D.O. of Ohio or any other board member can be contacted to express your dismay at this state of affairs. Dr. Thomas can be reached at: (216) 261-7970. A list of current board members is published in the Kirksville magazine or can be obtained by calling the alumni office at KCOM at 660-626-2307. You may also contact any of the last three or four Alumni Association Presidents, all of whom are aware of these events. The previous three KOAA presidents are Dean Colwell, D.O.(’71), Dan Biery, D.O.(’72), and Steve Radjinovich, D.O.(’74)
With dedication and commitment to our college and profession, we respectfully submit this information to all KCOM alumni and friends.
