Students will don caps and gowns on May 17
This month, the College of Medicine’s 10th graduating class will grab their diplomas and head for residency training.
The commencement ceremony for the Class of 2014 is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 17, at Ruby Diamond Concert Hall on the Florida State University campus.
Among them will be 12 students in the military: five Army, four Navy and three Air Force. And for the first time, the military promotion ceremony will be incorporated into the main graduation event.
The day before graduation, starting at 4:30 p.m., the Class of 2014 awards ceremony will take place in the auditorium.
The commencement speaker will be Professor Lynn Romrell, associate dean for medical education. When these students were brand-new and terribly nervous, he was their principal guide in anatomy class in the summer of 2010.
Ten days after this class graduates, the brand-new, terribly nervous students in the Class of 2018 will begin their summer semester. And Professor Romrell will be among their first teachers, too.
Meantime, when this upcoming graduation day has passed, the grand total of College of Medicine alumni will have climbed to 795.
