Graduates and their families also were invited to attend celebratory receptions in the Alumni Memorial Union hosted by UF’s Wolfe Center for Alumni, Parents, and Friends.
Myron D. Lewis, MSW, MBA, FACHE, president and CEO of Blanchard Valley Health System, gave the commencement address at the graduate ceremony.
