Welcome and congratulations
Feb. 17, 2024
Hello,
Together, we wish to offer sincere congratulations to Geisinger College of Health Sciences’ (Geisinger College) first-generation students for your significant achievements. We are proud of you and so happy that you are part of our College community. Being the first in your family to cut through the thickets and weeds of pursuing higher education is a praiseworthy accomplishment.
First-generation students — who navigate the complexities of higher education as first in their families — are true pioneers. You leave an inspiring example for all the first-gen students who will follow.
Geisinger College is enriched by your presence, and we stand ready to encourage you whenever you need support. We hope our school community will make “going first” a rewarding experience for you and those who support you in this endeavor.
Best wishes for a fabulous experience at Geisinger College.
Julie Byerley, MD, MPH; President, Geisinger College of Health Sciences; Dean, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine; Executive Vice President and Chief Academic Officer, Geisinger; Professor of Pediatrics
William B. Jeffries, PhD; Provost, Geisinger College of Health Sciences; Vice Dean for Education, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine; Professor of Pharmacology
