The inaugural class of medical students at the Alice Walton School of Medicine (AWSOM) in Bentonville began studies in mid-July.
The ceremonial opening was held on October 29, with Alice Walton delivering an emotional address.
"I didn’t expect to be overwhelmed this morning, but I am," "I cannot believe that we’re all actually here. It’s a special day in my life. When I founded AWSOM in 2021, I knew it had to be on the Crystal Bridges campus."
Alice Walton spoke about the significance of the event, marking a milestone for the school.
