Capturing milestones and memories

As we turn the pages of this Still Magazine, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for each student who has chosen ATSU for health professions education. This edition is particularly special as it captures the essence of our community through photos of white coat ceremonies, commencements, and all the moments in between.

The events featured throughout this issue are not just ritual. They are symbolic of the hard work, perseverance, and commitment our students have shown throughout their time with us. Commencement ceremonies were a celebration of achievement, where we watched our graduates take the next step into their professional lives. White coat ceremonies, equally profound and joyous, marked the beginning of journeys filled with knowledge, compassion, and the promise to uphold the highest standards of care.

This edition also includes some remarkable moments captured by our very own students. These photos provide a unique perspective into their daily lives, showcasing their experiences, camaraderie, and dedication. Our students are a constant source of inspiration, and the photos they have shared with us are snapshots of memories they will carry throughout their lives.

Additionally, we have the privilege of sharing stories of our dedicated ATSU board, faculty, and staff members. Their commitment to our university goes beyond the campus walls to our communities, making a better environment for our partners, neighbors, and friends.

As you explore these pages, I hope you feel as connected to our university as I do. Whether you graduated recently or many years ago, you are a part of a growing and flourishing legacy. ATSU thrives because of your support, passion, and involvement. Thank you for being an integral part of our story.

Yours in service,

Craig M. Phelps, DO, ’84
