3 A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT DRAKE
Dear Graduates:
Congratulations on earning the diploma soon to be in your hands. Few things are as satisfying as earning an education that is truly yours. This is a milestone achievement — one that gives the green light to begin your next chapter. While you anticipate what is ahead, also consider how much you have gained as an Ohio State student. During your time on campus, you absorbed a great deal of knowledge, the true currency of today’s society. I hope that you were inspired inside a classroom, through a leadership position or by way of a research endeavor, and that we played a role in helping you discover your passion. As the years roll on, regardless of where life takes you, remember to cherish the friends you made here and the wisdom you gained. Today is your day to celebrate, but it is also a day of gratitude — a time to thank your instructors, mentors, friends and family who helped you reach this pivotal moment. Whether they are sitting in the stands or congratulating you from afar, they have contributed to your success in many ways. So thank your loved ones for the brown-bag lunches that fueled you, and thank teachers for the resources that guided you. Much of what you have accomplished can be traced back to their support. Many of you chose to attend Ohio State because you wanted to solve problems, change lives or make our world a better place — perhaps all three. Now, more than ever, our world needs ambitious, lifelong learners. Your unique ideas and diverse experiences will shape our future, and your accomplishments will be a positive force for change in communities around the globe. Congratulations, again, on becoming a Buckeye for life!
Sincerely,
Michael V. Drake, MD President
