Associate Dean foe Student Affair Dear Class of 2001 On behalf of the Student Affairs staft’. please accept our heartiest congratulations upon your graduation from TUSPM. When you came to orientation four short years ago. graduation must have seemed so far away. I am sure your focus then was on the hurdles and challenges that you knew were before you and whether you could handle them. Well, guess what? You handled them and you handled them well. Your hard work, dedication and focus on your goals enabled you to successfully meet those challenges. You deserve to be proud of yourselves We arc proud of you and proud of the fact you will be representing us and the profession for many years to come. The health care scene seems to continually change As you enter an uncertain future, you enter with the certainty that you are well educated and prepared to deal with the new hurdles and challenges you will inevitably face The same hard work, dedication and focus that got you this far will enable you to successfully deal with the future. On a more personal note. I am saddened that this will be my last letter of congratulations to a TUSPM graduating class, os I am retiring at the end of this academic year Sitting down to write this letter each year gives me the opportunity to reflect on the students about to be graduated and think about the wonderful experiences I have had with you and how meaningful you arc in my life. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your life, albeit for only a short time. As we both face our uncertain futures. I wish you good health, personal and professional satisfaction and peace of mind. Sincerely yours. David A. Axler. Ph.D.
