Your graduation is a proud moment for both you and your families. It is also a proud moment for us as wc have seen you develop your clinical knowledge and skills over the last few years. Many of you have had to overcome both personal and professional challenges to get to this point. I congratulate you and wish you personal and professional success in the future. When you came to TUSPM you joined a profession that is still evolving and maturing. Even over the course of my own professional lifetime there have been dramatic changes. In order to continue to advance the profession, each and every one of you must be personally involved with helping it grow. Certainly the most important way to do that is to make each and every patient encounter a successful one where you deliver the best possible care in a caring and compassionate way. In addition there arc other ways that you can contribute to the profession: research, education, and political leadership are just a few of the different ways that together wc can advance the profession. For me, this has been a wonderful place to receive my own education and a wonderful place to have the opportunity to teach you. This profession provides outstanding opportunities for each and every one of you that you can seize with hard work and dedication. Again, congratulations on this success and good luck in your future endeavors. I hope that you will look back upon the knowledge you gained at TUSPM as the foundation upon which your career was built. Kieran T. Mahan, DPM Associate Dean for Academic Affairs KIERAN T.

More than that, however, I want to tell you that you ms 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 being a part of Temple's Health Sciences affords. During the post 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 tliat you never forget the roots that you leave here at TUSPM. You have earned the right to wear the degree that wc 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 have 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. 1 want you to come back to Philadelphia to visit us periodically and I want you to visit us on the web consistently.
