<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon, CUPA CO 2024,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Graduation Day! You have persevered and (almost) finished the course! Today is a day to celebrate! Ceremony is important and, although perhaps inconvenient for some of you, I trust it will be a day to remember! Please make the most
of your time with classmates, family, and friends and embrace this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is my esteemed honor and privilege (along with Mrs. Nordan) to hood you this afternoon. In so doing I am symbolically “transferring the rights and responsibilities” to
<u>you</u>. The CUPA faculty and staff have done everything in their power to prepare you to be competent, compassionate PAs. From here on, the remainder of this endurance race is up to you. There are a few more miles to go before you are truly at the finish
line. And the very last hurdle looms large. Please know we will be behind you cheering as you cross that line! We fully believe in each and every one of you. Finish Strong! (Acts 20:24)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, as we celebrate together today, let’s Take Joy! You will be in our thoughts and prayers – always.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Congratulations!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
