The morning after tornadoes ripped through Kirksville, MO, and surrounding areas last month, we all sat waiting for news about the fate of A.T. Still University – Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, the nation’s founding home of osteopathic medical education. News trickled in throughout the day: The campus had been spared. Approximately 20 osteopathic medical students found themselves homeless in the wake of the tornadoes, each having lost most if not all personal possessions.
