VCOM-Virginia is preparing to celebrate a major milestone this May: the commencement of the Class of 2026 as our 20th graduating class!
As part of this celebration, we are launching a social media video campaign featuring you — our alumni. The campaign will highlight alumni reflections on their time at VCOM and the impact being a VCOM graduate has had on their lives.
We invite you to submit a short video responding to one or two questions from the list provided. Your video does not need to be trimmed or edited; we will take care of any enhancements needed.
Thank you for helping us celebrate both the Class of 2026 and all of our VCOM-Virginia alumni!
