This included participation in internships, research projects, and volunteer service. Toward the end of the ceremony, Dr. Goeppinger encouraged the new graduates to remember the values that MWU taught them during their time as students.

“As you go forward from Midwestern University, go with confidence. Go with the care that you were instilled with here: caring for your patients, caring for each other, caring for your colleagues, and caring for your classmates,” said Dr. Goeppinger. “If you can only be one thing – be kind. Be kind to your patients, your family, your colleagues, and most importantly, be kind to yourself.”
