From the President Dear Graduates:

I

am amazed by your Upstate spirit!

In more than 40 years of service at Upstate Medical University, I have felt no greater pride than I do today, witnessing the tremendous growth and accomplishments of our exceptional class of 2021. You began your journey here to make the world a better place. And I know you will. Now, as you enter your professions in the midst of a pandemic, your brilliance, creativity and commitment to serve is needed more than ever. I am confident that you will rise to this challenge today and through the course of your career. Today’s milestone also recognizes the dedication of faculty and staff who have inspired and encouraged you. They join in this spirit of celebration, along with your parents, family members and friends, whose devotion and support have contributed to your success. As you embark upon this next phase, remember that challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. The skills you have gained in your education will serve you well, as through your career you will improve the lives of countless others. On behalf of this place of learning, thank you for enriching our lives at Upstate. You will always be special to us. Congratulations upon your commencement!
