Alma Mater Alma Mater of Oklahoma State University Words by Robert McCulloh, ‘49
Proud and immortal, Bright shines your name; Oklahoma State, We herald your fame. Ever you’ll find us loyal and true, To our Alma Mater, O.S.U.
Academic Heraldry Candidates for advanced degrees wear hoods lined in orange and black, representative of the official colors of Oklahoma State University. Master’s students are distinguished by a golden yellow trim bordering the hood while doctoral students are distinguished by a blue velvet trim.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS LETTER OF CONGRATULATIONS The OSU Center for Health Sciences has been conferring Master’s and Doctorate of Philosophy degrees for about 20 years. In the beginning, just a handful of students would walk across the stage on any given year. Our numbers were small. But that’s no longer the case. This year, while we can’t have a face-to-face ceremony, we wanted to recognize your achievements and celebrate your successes with a student driven video montage. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the strong relationship between faculty and students in graduate education. I’m proud to share with you that today is a historic moment in the evolution of our graduate programs. This academic year, approximately 250 students will earn a graduate degree from OSU-CHS, making this the largest graduating class from CHS graduate programs. Our student enrollment has grown over the years because of the ambition and hard work of our students and dedication of our graduate faculty. Your dreams, character, and resilience in the face of difficulty are remarkable and inspirational. Thanks to you, the OSU Center for Health Sciences continues to attract the best and the brightest to our graduate programs. On this special day in May, we celebrate your academic success and the start of a new beginning for you. What will your future bring? It’s too early to tell. Your paths will be different and at times you, like all of us, will be faced with difficult choices. I believe that through your commitment, character and resilience you will be able to propel yourself forward and be a positive force and contributor to our community. Congratulations on your great achievements. Bruce Benjamin, Ph.D. OSU-CHS Vice Provost of Graduate Programs

OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE OATH I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter. I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and friend who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery. I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession. I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it may be asked of me. I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of progressive cooperation, and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them or their rightful practices. I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught me my art. To my college I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests and for the interests of the students who will come after me. I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathic medicine.
