Congratulation Graduates!  Your accomplishments are substantial, and even more notable given the disruption in our usual educational processes due to COVID.  I and the faculty greatly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to learn in non-traditional ways and to interact electronically. While unpleasant, I believe this experience will make all of you better pathologists and more resilient to whatever the future brings. We have enjoyed all of you and hope that you stay in touch. Work hard and enjoy the practice of pathology in whatever venue you land. Best wishes and good luck.
