Milestone Moment: ODU and EVMS Announce Historic Naming Gifts at Community Celebration

Old Dominion University (ODU) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) hosted a community celebration at Hilton Norfolk The Main on June 7 to commemorate the integration of EVMS into ODU. The celebration is a direct result of a community-inspired and collaboratively led journey to provide increased levels of support and visibility to EVMS and followed a more than two-year extensive planning process that involved hundreds of people from both campuses, as well as key partners, including the Commonwealth of Virginia and Sentara Health.

A United Vision for the Future

Located in Norfolk, VA, Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical School have embarked upon an exciting mission – integrating the two institutions in order to create a brand new health sciences center in Hampton Roads.

Why join forces?

  • EVMS and ODU share a strong history of collaboration.
  • We are renowned experts in our respective disciplines.
  • We share complementary cultures.
  • We have proven track records of emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • We are deeply committed to making our community a better place to live.

The new center would be the largest in the Commonwealth in terms of both the number of health sciences programs offered and the number of students enrolled in those programs.

Leveraging the expertise at each institution allows us to offer stronger educational programs, resulting in a significant expansion of Virginia’s healthcare workforce and enhanced patient care.

By working as a team, we increase our ability to address healthcare disparities in the region and have a much stronger impact on the local economy than would be possible if we acted separately.

Together we can lead the way to a bolder tomorrow.
