EVMS and Old Dominion University Announce Historic News
On Friday, June 7, ODU President Brian O. Hemphill, PhD, and EVMS President, Provost and Dean Alfred Abuhamad, MD, came together in downtown Norfolk to share historic news: the establishment, effective July 1, 2024, of Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University.
This new academic health center is the result of nearly three years of dedicated and thoughtful work toward integration among ODU and EVMS leaders, board members, faculty, staff, students, donors, alumni and community members. The effort, supported by our partners Sentara Health, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and bipartisan lawmakers throughout the region and Commonwealth, is a testament to collaboration and our shared vision for a healthier future.
For more than four decades, EVMS has been the place for aspiring physicians and health professionals, passionate educators and medical pioneers. Our alumni are visionaries and remain an integral part of our history and future.

Alumni Weekend 2024
Thank you to all alumni who returned to campus this past weekend to celebrate Alumni Weekend. It was truly wonderful to see alumni reminisce and reconnect with former classmates 
and friends, as well as make new connections.
Approximately 140 alumni and guests returned to campus Oct. 18-20 for Alumni Weekend 2024. Over the weekend, they attended campus events and talks — including a presentation by Alfred Abuhamad, MD, executive vice president of Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University and dean of Eastern Virginia Medical School at ODU.
Many attendees also took part in the Alumni Family BBQ on TowneBank Lawn, joined class dinners and relaxed among friends at the 36th Annual Fall Town Point Virginia Wine Festival.
