It has been a difficult challenge which you tackled relentlessly for four years, and now have finally conquered. Over the years, graduates have been told that they are entering a world of change. Obviously, this has been a true statement, but when you recognize the potential for change In the health care system as we know It today, you begin to realize that In the years ahead, you will come face to face with a major revolution In health tare delivery. You will face challenges for which we have been unable to prepare you. But hopefully, we have provided you with the ability to be pioneers In the profession. Of course, the best of all worlds is to position yourselves In a way to effect and shape change. Be involved. Be proactive, not reactive. Be a leader In your coronunlty and in your health planning organizations. Get to know your elected officials. Be innovative. None of us knows what the future holds for us, however, it is imperative that you recognize your now acquired abilities to pursue a successful career. And, be conscious that as podiatric physicians, you have an obligation to play a constructive role In shaping the future of health care In your communities and In the country.

I PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF PODIATRIC MEDICINE I U.HTH ATRACT STREET PHILAOILPMIA, RENNSYlVASIA WOT • •»» ««• A Iti Jtoo. Pt 0 VtC lot Srutlwil AHav Dear Class of 1985: The memories you leave with us are fond and varied! It really does not seem possible that the time has arrived to join you in your graduation march at the Academy of Music. Let me extend my sincere congratulations upon your graduation. It is a mark of deep accomplishment that you have certainly earned. I recall how enthusiastic you were as you first arrived—for SARP, then for Orientation. We generally agreed that you were, indeed, a mature class with solidarity. You brought, as individuals, many varied backgrounds and talents. As a class you moved comfortably into your leadership role at the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine. You worked so very hard, you found ways of sharing, and you gave so very much back to us. You have now met the challenges of academic and clinical experience, National Boards, externships, and finally, the run for the residency while keeping your sense of perspective and wit in tact. You have developed personal and professional relationships; some have begun families and watched them grow. You have worried about grades, groceries, and your gross national debt! During ail this you never failed to share unselfishly your time and talents with us. You set goals and objectives which made PCPM and all of us better. Worthwhile achievements come from hard study, commitment and tenacity. There is no easy way. Your perserverance has brought you to this first step in your professional career. This is only the beginning of many challenges for both you and those of us at PCPM. Do know how much you are appreciated for all that you have been—and all that you have shared. We have great faith in all that you will yet become. There is great joy and a sense of accomplishment at graduation. I, personally, want to thank you for these past four years: the good times will long be remembered, and the stimulating differences and discussions were valuable. Out of it always came, for me, a renewed commitment and decpor relationship. You are an outstanding class. You will make the field of podiatric medicine a finer profession because of your contributions. I am proud of you. Best wishes! Sincerely yours, Janice A. Ferguson, Ph.D. Vice President for Student Affairs 3
