Welcome “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.” —Albert Schweitzer Thank you for joining us on this exceptional occasion. I extend a hearty congratulations and deep gratitude to each of you as we celebrate MCW-Green Bay’s Commencement and Hooding Ceremony. We have collectively shared in the work leading to this monumental day. We recognize that your journey has been made more difficult and circuitous against the backdrop of the pandemic. I am proud of each one of you for your resilience and determination. Today would not be possible without the ingenuity, faith, and bold courage of academic, clinical, and community-wide partners, hundreds of local physicians, philanthropic supporters, dedicated staff and faculty, and indeed, our medical students. I want to recognize those who, because of the Covid-19 Pandemic, cannot be in the room with us today. It is not lost on each of us the profound contributions they have made to ensure each of the graduates arrived at this moment. To the loved ones and families that have supported these graduates on their long journey, thank you. Your graduate has worked tirelessly to earn the title of “Dr.” and to embrace the heavy responsibility that comes with the privilege of serving others as a physician. Today we celebrate their achievement. We honor them as graduates, and we honor you as the source of their strength and encouragement in a difficult world. Sincere congratulations and good luck to the newest graduates of MCW- Green Bay. As you heal, comfort, and serve your patients, you will always be ambassadors of our regional campus. We are incredibly proud of you! Matthew L. Hunsaker, MD, FAAFP Founding Campus Dean, Medical College of Wisconsin-Green Bay
