Dear Member of the Class of 2023,

Congratulations on all you have achieved at the MGH Institute of Health Professions. I hope that as you sit in your seat at Commencement you think of the connections you made, collaborations you fostered, and content you learned while at the IHP!

Commencement is a passage and not an ending. The Institute looks forward to continuing our relationship with you. Think of us when you are trying to navigate the next steps in your career, when you want to continue your learning, and when you have a professional accomplishment to share. Helping our alums continue to achieve their dreams and learning of their accomplishments is a true pleasure for all of us at the IHP, so please reach out!

As your Alumni Director, I serve as your bridge back to The Institute. You are welcome to reach out to me, anytime, with questions, an address update, or an idea that you think I should pursue. Students also provide a link back to your experience. I hope that you will say, “yes” when asked to serve as a panelist at a graduating student event, to volunteer your expertise as a guest speaker, or to guide a student in their clinical experience.

This is a special time for you. Be sure to take a moment to breathe it in as that is what you deserve.

Warm Regards,

Katherine E. Mulcahy Director of Alumni Relations MGH Institute of Health Professions alumni@mghihp.edu
