Oh the places you’ll go,
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So get on your way!
Dr. Seuss

Congratulations to the 2016 graduates of the five colleges at UAMS. We, the faculty and staff of the Student Success Center, are so proud of your hard work and success. We expect you will do great things for your profession and make a positive impact on health care for many years to come.

Life is a series of adventures that are all part of the Great Adventure. Graduation signals the end of one adventure and the beginning of a new one. So whether your next adventure takes place in Arkansas or in someplace far away, make the most of every opportunity you are offered, and make a difference in the lives of the people you encounter. As UAMS graduates, you have been educated and trained to improve the health, health care, and well-being of Arkansans and of others in the region, nation, and the world. We can’t wait to see what you will do.

So, in the words of Dr. Seuss, “Today is your day!” We join you in celebrating all you have accomplished here at UAMS. We are confident you have what you need to be successful as you climb your professional mountain, so go ahead and “Get on your way!” We wish you all the best on your next adventure!
