A Message from our President |
Nicole McMillin Director of Financial Aid Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine |
|
|
It’s the season of new, shadows, and love. A new year, rebirth, a clean slate, who doesn’t want the chance at a do over every now and then. Shadows, they lurk, haunt us, make us question. Love, an intangible, but it feels like home when we rest in it. We all want to find that space where we are completely accepted, just as we are, belonging, authenticity. This is the value I set for myself to define this year, to live in absolute authenticity. My hope is you are able to frame your year with a value you hold dear and see the fruition of its outcome both personally and professionally.
