I want to tell you that you are the Temple University School of Podiatnc Medicine While it is true that we have classrooms, dorrmtones. clinics and laboratories, a school without the life and energy of the student is a single purpose building whose purpose has disappeared. You entered TUSPM in a tune of transition. You have seen new faculty, new facilities and the positive growth that affiliation with Temple's Health System affords. During the past four years, this was your school, but in a larger sense, you became the school. As you leave us here in Philadelphia and begin post graduate training or practice, you take the school with you. You will forever be identified as a Temple University School graduate Because of this, you and TUSPM will always be connected. We have given you the finest education in the nation. We have given you clinical experience that is unrivaled in the history of our profession and we have given you the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Now it is your turn. Because you will always be a TUSPM graduate, we look to you to carry that degree with competence, compassion, and ultimately, success. You now enter a career in which your patient and his or her condiuon will demand your attention As you build a practice and you expand your roots in the community that you choose, 1 ask that you never forget the roots that you leave here at TUSPM. 1 want you to wear the degree that we have bestowed upon you with pride and I challenge you to use that degree to the benefit of both your practice and your alma mater I want you to join your class alumni association and maintain connection with your class mates. 1 want you to come back to Philadelphia to visit us periodically and I want you to visit us on the web consistently. Wherever you go in your life, you take our name and you remain our graduate. Never forget that because we will never forget you and the time that you have spent here.
