“The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.”– William James
Welcome to MCW-Central Wisconsin Commencement and Hooding Ceremony. With the world shifting around us due to COVID-19, I am especially grateful to have this special day to mark a milestone, not only for our students and their families, but for our entire campus community. Today we collectively celebrate a remarkable group of young physicians who will become our first students to graduate into residency in the COVID-19 era. MCW-CW students are pioneers and we know that they are up to the challenge of helping create a new future for medicine in these challenging times.
I offer my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to each of our graduates for their fortitude, resilience and team spirit. Their accomplishments in the classroom, in the clinical setting and in the community are extraordinary.
Thank you to each of them for joining us on this challenging journey and for making MCW-Central Wisconsin a community-engaged campus working to create the next generation of physicians and leaders for our state. Each of these graduates makes an exchange: they leave here with the hard-won opportunity to be called “doctor,” and leave behind a lasting legacy. We hope and pray for each of them to continue to become the healers and leaders who will set things right.
Congratulations and thanks are also in order for the families, friends and the entire Central Wisconsin community who have supported these graduates. Each of you shares in the joy and inspiration of this occasion. Your support has made all the difference.
Bon voyage to our graduates. Take pride in how far you have come, have faith in how far you can go, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey!

Dear Doctors…We know you will have uplifting and rewarding days ahead of you, as well as ones that will be tough and challenging and perhaps
even discouraging. The road that has led you to this very special day has not been easy, and we’re currently living in a time of
great uncertainty. You know that your life as a physician will be a work in progress and perhaps a balancing act. Please know that
as we have supported you during your medical education, our care and concern for your well-being continues into residency and
beyond. The team at MCW-Central Wisconsin will continue to cheer for you, believe in you, think of you often, and be available if or
when you need us. You are the future of medicine and we are so proud of you and what you have accomplished and where you are
going. We know you will make a profound impact on your patients, community, and the world. Our very best wishes and hopes
and dreams go with you and we hope to hear from you often … MCW-Central Wisconsin
