Message from the President
As we welcome the year 2025, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of you on the remarkable achievements we have achieved over the past several years. In July, we celebrated the university’s 20th anniversary and hosted our largest graduation ceremony to date, with a record number of graduates now calling VUIM its alma mater. I extend my deepest gratitude to the VUIM leadership team for their vision, to our staff for their tireless efforts in supporting the University’s operations, and to our faculty for their dedication to teaching and mentoring the next generation of skilled acupuncturists and integrative medicine practitioners.
The year 2025 marks the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac. The snake symbolizes wisdom, intuition, and transformation. Together, let us embrace these qualities and work toward a bright and transformative future for VUIM and our community. I wish you all a year filled with success, happiness, health, and prosperity.
