Hundreds Celebrate the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine’s Grand Opening
Portland, October 5th. Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM) supporters celebrated the grand opening of their new campus in Portland’s historic Old Town Chinatown with a public ribbon-cutting ceremony. On hand to celebrate were Scott Dunbar, Gretchen Horton, Dr. Hong Jin, and Glenn Fee.
OCOM’s relocation to downtown from outer Southeast Portland marks an historic moment in the life of the college. The new campus, a LEED Gold certified renovation of the 100-year-old former Globe Hotel/Import Plaza, nearly doubles the college’s square footage, allowing OCOM to educate more acupuncture and Oriental medicine master’s and doctoral students each year.
