During your career at TUSPM you have grown professionally in proportion to the challenges presented, both personally and within the academic and clinical curriculum. In many ways you have exceeded what you may have felt was possible. It is my hope the relationships you developed with your classmates and TUSPM faculty supported your achievements and will continue to assist in providing direction for future accomplishments. May the skill sets and attributes you've acquired during your tenure at TUSPM allow you to approach each new challenge with a sense of confidence, courage, and when required, compassion. It was a pleasure getting to know many of you and I hope you meet with much success on your journey. All the best! David H. Martin Assistant Dean for Student Affairs 10

FOR EDUCATIONAL AFFAIRS School of Podiatric Medicine TEMPLE UNIVERSITY Educational Affairs phone 215-625-5356 Eighth at Race Street fax 215-629-1929 Philadelphia, PA, 19107 email import fi temo!e.edu To The Class of 2015: Congratulations on officially being doctors! I remember the day when l was no longer Student Doctor, but doctor and it's an amating feeling and accomplishment. You have worked hard and sacrificed greatly over the past few years of your life, but now enjoy the accomplishment you have achieved. While the biggest hurdle is over, the Journey is just beginning. The next 3-4 years of your life will be tough, but you have made it this far and can undoubtedly make it through residency with great success. You are my first true class whom I have watched develop from scared and sometimes lost 2 years in Intro to Podiatric Surgery to eager and excited 3 years In the Trauma Course. I have watched you develop your clinical skills and hone your ability to present in a professional and confident manner, and now today, I have no doubt arc ready to be the future of this profession. If I can give you any advice going forward it would be the following things: 1. Never forget who you are and where you came from. 2. Have compassion, it's not always easy, but there is always someone who has it worse than you. 3. Never stop learning: to be truly successful you should learn something new every day and always want to better who you are. 4. Live every day! Not every day is going to be easy, but even on the worst days find something good that happened to reflect on. You all arc ready, heck you've been trying to get out of here all ycarl Go out into the world, do great and big things and when you make it big don't forget old Dr. Moore. Best of Luck to all of you, Joshua L. Moore, DPM JTosb.ua, L. Moore, DPM 9

May 5.20! 5 Dear Members of the Class of 2015: It hardly seems possible that you arc doctors already. It seems like I just met you for the first time at the Dean's barbecue yesterday, but that was really more than a few yesterdays ago. For you. the intervening years may have seemed like an eternity unfolding before you us you constantly met one challenge after another, took exam after exam, and chased clerkships and residencies as well as all the other things that you didn't let wear you down, but it's over now. You surely have more challenges and accomplishments ahead of you. but likely none on par with the one you celebrate today. I wish for all of you bright futures and smooth sailing with the wind forever at your backs. Sincerely. Samuel J. Spadonc. D.PaM. Assistant Dean Samuel J. Spadone, D.P.M u
