At 2022 Commencement, Graduates Lauded as Values-Driven Innovators

The Katz School of Science and Health recently conferred 123 master’s degrees to graduating students whom Dean Paul Russo called “values-driven practitioners” for their academic integrity and commitment to the compassionate care of others.

“You stand for truth, reflected in your scholarship and applied in your practice. You are champions of a life built on values—respecting the worth of every individual and their right to care and full participation in life—economically and socially,” said Dean Russo at the school’s sixth commencement exercises on May 16. “You are compassionate practitioners who bring your know-how in science, technology and health to transform our world for the better and move history forward. You are people of integrity, who when moving science to practice will never sacrifice the invaluable in the pursuit of the valuable.”
