BRYAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES
Rich shares message to graduates
This graduation was
Virtually perfect
The May 8 graduation marked the first time in its 94-year history that Bryan College of Health Sciences held a virtual commencement ceremony. College President Rich Lloyd and faculty members appeared on camera for a remote broadcast to students and families, and Bryan Health CEO Russ Gronewold delivered the address. In his message to our newest alumni, Rich said: “While tonight may be a first, a virtual graduation, know that our history of sending forth amazing graduates is a constant even during such uncertain times. “Tonight is a joyous occasion — another milestone in the life of our students and our college. Years of dedication, hard work, determination and perseverance have led each of you to this moment. “This is just the beginning of the next step in your journeys. You have been and will continue to be part of the Bryan family, and you are always most welcome. All of us would love to see you back on campus when conditions allow. “Never forget that you are Blue Healers, you are prepared for more — to live lives of meaning and purpose, to do the good work you are trained for, and to extend that healing work to your families, your communities and to those in need.”
