Michigan School of Traditional Midwifery Bearing the Future ~ Preserving Tradition www.traditionalmidwife.org Home * Director's Welcome * Contact MSTM * Enrollment Information * Frequently Asked Questions MSTM Founds New Traditional Midwifery Honors Society In recognition of outstanding student achievement, Michigan School of Traditional Midwifery has founded a new Honors Society: Mu Omicron Mu Femina inserviendo, consumer. We believe that this is the perfect time in our history for the establishment of an honors society that lauds the accomplishments of students who achieve above average academic excellence and encourages such students to take a longer view of their potential contribution to Midwifery. Purpose The primary objective of Mu Omicron Mu is to serve as a means of awarding distinction to those of high scholarship and promise of achievement in the field of Traditional Midwifery. Mu Omicron Mu endeavors to help traditional midwifery students attain a clearer appreciation of midwifery and the service of guardianship of the normal birth process, to promote further interest in the study and preservation of traditional midwifery, to foster and encourage the spirit of sisterhood, friendship, support and service among students of traditional midwifery. Mission Mu Omicron Mu exists to honor outstanding scholarship in the study of Traditional Midwifery; to encourage interest in Midwifery, and subjects related to the childbearing year among MSTM students at all levels; to promote an attitude of service of its members towards their fellow MSTM students, and the greater midwifery community; to provide recognition of persons who have academically excelled in the study of Traditional Midwifery at MSTM. Mu Omicron Mu represents the first letter in the Greek words for: Midwife, Stewards, Mothers and the symbolism there-in is clear. Motto Femina inserviendo, consumer. Latin for: In serving women, I am consumed. Flower Lotus Crest - comming soon!
