Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine

In observance of Juneteenth, our campus is closed. Juneteenth commemorates an important moment in our nation's history and provides an opportunity to reflect on the enduring values of freedom, equality, and opportunity for all.

A new semester is just around the corner, and we can't wait to welcome our students back! 🫶

Nothing beats sunset on campus. 🌅 💚
