On behalf of the Class of 2007, we would like to extend our thanks to the faculty for your continued support and encouragement on a daily basis during the pursuit of our ultimate goal— Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degrees. We would also like to thank our advisor, David Martin, and Cooke Publishing Company Representative, Lisa Buscaglia, for their commitment and collaboration during the production of the Achilles. To the Classes of 2008, 2009, 2010: “Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves. —-Jawaharlal Nehru Take this time to not only challenge yourself, but also to challenge others.

Each of you has just completed the most challenging four years of your young lives and I want to congratulate you. More than that, however. I want to tell you that you are the Temple University School of Podiatnc Medicine While it is true that we have classrooms, dormitories, 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 time 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, John A. Mattiacci, DPM 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 helped you to cam the finest education in the nation. We have given you clinical experience that is unrivaled in the history of our profession and w'e have bestowed upon you the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Now it is your turn. Because you will always be a TUSPM alumnus, 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 condition will demand your attention. As you build a practice and you expand your roots in the community that you choose. I 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 1 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. I 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. Go now and apply those skills that you gained here. Be diligent. Be tenacious. Be inquisitive and be successful. You are now a permanent part of the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. 8 Temple School of Podiatric Medicine imveWzL c M ASSOCIATE DEAN School of Podiatric Medicine TEMPLE UNIVERSITY J� m � 9.

James Burke, PH.D. Continue to grow as a professional and make this graduation a starting point toward a commitment to continuing education and the quest for the discovery of new knowledge. Always continue to challenge yourself and work to advance the profession. Through this commitment you will enjoy the many rewards of your endeavors.

Graduates of the Class of 2007: As I write this, some six months in advance of your commencement ceremony, I am unsure how to address you. I know this yearbook will be published and available prior to your graduation, per se. However, I am confident that each of you. having completed a rigorous course of study, will receive the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine by the time this letter is intended to be read. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to address you as my colleagues now for the first time instead of as my students, and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. I have been fortunate in becoming a faculty member at TUSPM and to have witnessed the profound transformations that accompanied your journeys from first year students to fledging doctors. Observing this metamorphosis has always been the most rewarding part of my work. In this. I am sure that I speak, not for myself, but for the entire faculty of the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. You have undergone rigorous training, more on par with that in any other medical discipline than before in the history of Podiatric Medicine, and far more so than that now afforded at any of the other schools and colleges in our profession. Despite the meticulous planning and contingency analyses that preceded the implementation of our new curriculum there have been “growing pains but you have adapted and overcome each of them. You have a right to be proud of your achievements. I am envious of the training you have received for, while I wished for it as a student myself, it was not to be. 1 have several personal requests to make of each of you at this time. First, please let us know of your accomplishments in the future. Second, never hesitate to call upon any of us if we can be of assistance in your future endeavors. Finally, go forth and make us proud! Congratulations on your accomplishments and best wishes for success in your personal lives and professional careers. J2i’ Samuel J. Spadone, D.P.M.

At the same time, I suppose that you feel that it couldn’t have come any sooner. That feeling hopefully of can’t wait , is developed out of a sincere desire to move on with your education and join the ranks of the profession with a degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, to stand side-by-side as colleagues. Larry M. Newman, DPM, You are to be congratulated because this is a great achievement and it could only have _ . happened through hard work and dedication. I MUirtw Remember that graduation is a commencement and is actually a new beginning and by all accounts you’re in a tremendous position at this time for a wonderful professional future. Hopefully, the further you get into your post graduate experiences in your professional life, you will come to appreciate even more the foundation that was laid during your four years of podiatric medical school. The advantages that you will have in the coming years should be embraced with open arms and hopefully you will all continue to be life-long learners. It is important, in your professional life, to intersperse a total experience regarding family, friends, and other interests that you enjoy. Doing this will give you the opportunity to stay strong, and to be able to remain energized in your efforts to take care of your patients in the future. Please remember us, and remember too that we welcome you in the future to call upon us for any further guidance and support. I also urge you to keep in mind that it is very important to give back to your school and profession. Larry M.

Biomedical Engineering TUSP.M Class of 2007: Despite this country's healthcare limitations anti insurance frustrations you’ll be forced to face, and the multitude of disgruntled and ungrateful patients you'll treat throughout your career, please never loose sue of 1.) your roots, 2.) why you chose to become a physio an in the first place and 3.) the notion that, despite the time, energy, and money you’ve invested into this career, treating patients is not an entitlement, but a privilege And if w e look and listen closely enough, we can learn more from our patients than anybody. To quote my favorite “revolutionary,’’ Ernesto Che Guevara (August 20, 1969) in a speech to Medical Students “The doctor, the. medical worker, should go then to the heart of their new work, which is as a person among the masses, a person within the community. Whatever happens in the world, by always being close to the patient, by knowing his or her psychology so deeply, by being the representative of those who come near pain and relieve it, the doctor alw ays lus a very important job, a job of great responsibility in social life. Wc must then begin to erase our old concepts, of practicing chant)-, and come ever closer and even more critically to the people by practicing solidarity. We should not draw closer to the people to say: Here wc are. We come to give you the charity of our presence. to teach you with our science, to demonstrate your errors, your lack of refinement. your lack of elementary knowledge. W'c should go with an investigational teal and with a humble spirit, to learn from the great source of wisdom that is the people. Dad anti Mom: Thank you for instilling in me die values of hard work, diligence, gratitude. compassion, and respect that you so well exemplify yourselves. You’ve always encouraged me to remain an individual and true to myself when it seemed an easier path to conform, and you’ve supported me through the hard times, without judgment You've instilled in me the importance of responsibility, accountability, being true to your word, taking pride in your work, and lending a helping hand. The lessons you've taught me, mostly by example, arc invaluable and indispensable, and I cannot thank you enough for that 20 Temple School of Pocfiatric Medicine Javan Shinar Bass, DPM University of Alabama B.S.

Thank you for showing me how to step out on faith. To my Grandmothers, 1 know that both of you arc looking down... 1 hope that you are proud. Thank you all for your love, and I love you all. 2 7 Achilles 21 Tamika Bolden, DPM University of the Pacific B.S. Biological Sciences Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there arc prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now 1 know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:4-13 22 Temple School of Podiatric Nicole Branning, PPM Itosemont College B.fl. Biology I wish the very best to all my classmates and future colleagues.

Psychology Pre-med Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays once said,’’ It must be borne in mind that the tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal but the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars, but rather a disgrace to have no stars to reach tor. May you forever stand tor something high and noble for not failure but low aim is sin. May you perform so well that when a man is needed for an important job in your field, your work will be so impressive that the committee of selection will be compelled to examine your credentials such that no man could ever dismiss you with a wave of a hand or a shrug of a shoulder . It is this motto that I have adapted my professional school life around for four long years, lo me, success is not a journey, but purely a destination. I am thankful that the Lord gave me the strength and the wisdom to be able to travel and endure a road less traveled by many. To my Mom and Dad, grandparents, family and friends: I cannot even begin to thank you enough for all the love, moral, and financial support that you have given me over the years. All of you have inspired me to achieve my goal and to never give up! Mom and Dad you are truly the best parents that any son could ever have!
