“Graduates of 2026, I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that we are the embodiment of hope,” said Bethany Berry, MD, PhD. “When patients hope for a diagnosis, hope for a cure or hope for a hand to hold as they face their greatest fears, we are their hope.”
Kente fabric comes from Ghana, West Africa, and represents unity, belonging, renewal and prosperity.
