WVSOM Parade

October 15

The West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine is celebrating its 50th anniversary! The Greenbrier Valley has a rich history of educational institutions, including the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine (WVSOM), the Greenbrier Military School (GMS) and the Greenbrier College for Women (GCW).

If you attended WVSOM, GMS or GCW, or if your life has benefited from one of these institutions, we invite you to celebrate with us in a community parade.
