GRADUATE RECOGNITION

FROM THE

DEAN Dear Graduates: On behalf of the faculty and staff at Miami University Regionals, I would like to congratulate you on successfully finishing this portion of your educational journey.

Each of you has risen to the difficult challenges we faced this spring with grace and fortitude, just as I’m sure you will face the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as you enter the workforce or graduate school.

During your time at Miami Regionals, each of you has written your own story.

Whether you were the first in your family to attend college, were a working parent looking to grow into a new career, or were the next in a long line of Miami graduates in your family: you persevered and succeeded. Regardless of your path, I have no doubt you are well equipped to handle whatever life throws your way in the months and years ahead.

With its foundation in the liberal arts, your Miami University degree has equipped you with a broad knowledge base and critical-thinking skills that are highly valued by today’s employers. You are ready to go wherever your path may lead you, even if that path is here, in southwestern Ohio, where you can help give our communities a brighter future.

It has been an honor to be a part of your journey. There are many opportunities for you to stay in touch - you are Miami Alumni! I look forward to seeing you at future alumni events, hearing about your successes and staying involved. Your success will inspire future generations of Miami Regionals students.

With Love and Honor,

Dr. Cathy Bishop-Clark Associate Provost and Dean College of Liberal Arts and Applied Science
