President’s Message
By Caroll Ryan, PhD
Welcome to a new academic year! As we gather here this September, I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you, both returning students and those just beginning your journey at AUHS.
September is a time of fresh starts, new opportunities, and the promise of growth. Whether you are stepping into your first classes or preparing to graduate, this moment is filled with potential. You are here because you have chosen a path of service and compassion, and we are honored to support you on this journey.
At AUHS, we believe in education that transforms not just the mind, but the heart and spirit. As we continue to navigate challenges in healthcare, your resilience, dedication, and desire to serve will make all the difference in the communities you will soon be impacting.
This year, we are reminded of the importance of connection—whether in the classroom, during clinical rotations, or in our daily interactions with one another. Let’s embrace this sense of community as we learn, grow, and inspire each other.
I look forward to seeing your achievements in the months ahead and watching how you grow, both personally and professionally. Together, we will make this year a great one.
Thank you, and let’s make the most of this new beginning!
