Celebrating the

Class of 2021!

May 27, 2021

School of Health Sciences, Human Services,

and Nursing

Department of Health Sciences

Message from the Chair of the Dept of

Health Sciences:

Dear class of 2021:

As the chair of the Department of Health Sciences, I would like to congratulate you on your well-deserved

success. I’m sure today will be the first of many proud, successful moments for you.

We’re sorry that you are unable to have the graduation ceremony and celebration you’ve eagerly

anticipated for the past four years. While we wish, that circumstances were different, the faculty, program directors

and all of us in the department of Health Sciences are proud of all that you have achieved during your academic

career at Lehman.

Graduation is like a bridge to the next phase of your life, and everything that got you here—hard work, drive

and confidence, vision, will always outlast tough times and propel you to a bright future. That’s how I know you’re

going to make the world what you want it to be.

Always remember, there is no limit to what you can do if you keep believing in yourself.

Again, Congratulations today and best wishes for all your tomorrows!

Dr. Gul Tiryaki Sonmez
