Message from Class President Kathryn Cunningham: “January 8, 2005...the day we thought would never come, was well worth the wait. Our graduation ceremony was a nice way to end the journey we started two and a half years ago. It made us reflect upon how we had matured over the years and gave us the chance not to say good-bye to each other, but to say good luck in our future endeavors. The day also allowed our teachers and mentors to pass on their one last bit of wisdom and to say how truly proud of us they were.  Graduation was a wonderful day and will always be remembered.  Thanks again to all of our loved ones, friends, and teachers who helped get us there”. The guest speaker Michael Pinckney welcomed, Dr. Cole Galloway addressed the class, and Dr. Stuart Binder-Macleod presented the following awards before conferring the graduates’ degrees and making closing remarks: · The Faculty Award went to graduates Jill Cameron and Barbara Spears for exemplary qualities of integrity, cooperation, initiative and leadership in the UDPT program. · The Director’s Award went to Kathryn Cunningham and Mandy Merritt for special contributions to the UDPT program. · The Scholarship Award went to graduate Mary Saari for a high level of scholastic achievement in the UDPT program.
