Commencement 2023

More than 400 students celebrated their achievements by earning their degrees during the spring commencement ceremonies for undergraduate, graduate and health professions on Saturday, May 6.

UPIKE President Burton J. Webb, Ph.D., extended congratulations on behalf of the university as the students begin the next exciting chapter of their lives.

“We are proud of you, we want the best for you, and we stand ready to continue to help you as you build a life well-lived,” said Webb. “You are now at the beginning of your life of work and service to mankind. It’s my hope for you that you will have the opportunity to experience that joy which comes from making someone else’s life better. We share in that joy because we are a little part of you, as you will always be a little part of us.”
