Rocovich, who served as VCOM-Virginia’s Activities Coordinator and worked closely to support the Via Wellness program to promote healthy minds, bodies and spirits for everyone at VCOM. Frank was also the son of VCOM founding chairman John G. Rocovich, Jr., JD LLM, and his wife, board member Sue Ellen Rocovich, DO, PhD, and is remembered warmly for his interactions around campus and commitment to VCOM. The scholarship supports students who lead in providing wellness activities for their fellow students, in support of "the whole person" wellness philosophy of osteopathic medicine, and actively participate in the Via Wellness program at VCOM.
