Midwestern University celebrated the graduations of master’s and doctoral degree recipients who are beginning their professional careers in healthcare at several ceremonies during the months of May and June on both the Glendale and Illinois campuses.

“These graduates have had to be resilient and flexible during the pandemic in order to achieve their degrees,” Midwestern’s President and CEO Kathleen H. Goeppinger said. “One of the things I found very hopeful and promising is that so many of our graduates became leaders while on campus and took the time to participate in community service for the benefit of others. Many of them participated in Midwestern University’s Operation Hope, which allowed the University to provide COVID vaccines to the community.”
