Congratulations, you’re a D.O.<br />
Jubilation, hugs, pride and family were in abundance<br />
during the <strong>Ohio</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Osteopathic</strong><br />
<strong>Medicine</strong>’s 28th commencement exercises Saturday<br />
morning, June 2, in Templeton-Blackburn Alumni<br />
Memorial Auditorium.<br />
President Roderick McDavis, Ph.D., hailed the college<br />
as “ … an outstanding example <strong>of</strong> our larger university<br />
mission … ” and congratulated the student doctors<br />
on the significant role they’ve played in the health <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Ohio</strong>’s citizens.<br />
In addressing the 102 graduates—59 women and<br />
43 men—Dean Jack Brose, D.O., said, “You have<br />
exceeded my expectations. … In a short while, you will<br />
understand why this ceremony is such an emotional<br />
event. There is no more pr<strong>of</strong>ound moment that<br />
watching you come to the stage as a lay person, and<br />
leave as a physician. As dean, congratulating each <strong>of</strong><br />
you is my favorite part <strong>of</strong> the job. I can’t imagine a<br />
greater honor.”<br />
Keynote speaker Alison Clarey, D.O. (Hon. ’98),<br />
president <strong>of</strong> the American <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Osteopathic</strong><br />
Surgeons, left the newly minted physicians with two<br />
thoughts: Know no limitations, and one person can<br />
make a difference.<br />
