It is a privilege to share with you and your families a day of virtual recognition of your successful completion of this important phase in your professional development. Your dedication and hard work during your years at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health have been distinguished by your remarkable resilience and sense of community. There were disruptions to your education due to the pandemic, and I am deeply impressed by your individual and collective responses to this crisis. You have inspired our faculty through your enthusiasm, energy, and idealism. We are also deeply appreciative of the nurturing support and encouragement that your families and friends have provided to you. The best is yet to come!

Your experience and wisdom will continue to grow, molded by the compassion and altruism that you have cultivated during your time here.
