It is with a sense of pleasure that I write this letter to the Class of 2011. Each of you has just completed the most challenging four years of your lives and 1 take pride in congratulating you. More than that, however. I want to tell you that you arc the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. While it is true that we have clinics, laboratories, classrooms and dormitories, a school without the vibrant energy of the student is a building whose purpose has disappeared. You arrived at TUSPM at a time of evolution. You have seen new faculty, upgrading of facilities and the progress that be part of Temple’s Health Sciences affords. During the past four years, this was your school, but in a larger sense, you became the school. As you begin post graduate training and leave us here in Philadelphia, you take the school with you. You will forever be identified as a Temple University graduate. TUSPM and you will always be connected. We have given you the finest education in the nation. We have given you clinical experience that is unequaled in 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 success. You now enter a career in which your patient and his or her condition will demand your expertise. As you enter practice and develop roots in the community that you choose. I ask that you never forget the roots that you leave here at TUSPM. You have earned the right to wear the degree that we have bestowed upon you with pride. I challenge you to use that degree to the benefit of both your practice and your alma matter as those who gave gone before you have done. I want you to become active with your alumni association and maintain connection with your classmates. Your alumni peers have generously endowed scholarships for the benefit of TUSPM students and have given of their financial resources for the continual upgrading of TUSPM. I want you to come back to Philadelphia to visit us periodically and 1 want you to visit us on the web consistently. Wherever you go in you life, you lake 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. Dean Sincerely © y Ufaplc MHiWfcftlj btkool of podiatric hvcdioihc
