On April 27, 2024, the RUSH community gathered at the Credit Union 1 Arena to recognize the graduating class of 2024 at RUSH University’s 52nd Commencement ceremony. Congratulations, graduates!
Experience all the joy of the 52nd commencement event:
“I hope that as you move forward, you will conclude that no matter where you come from, no matter what circumstances that brought you here, that you have the potential to do some fantastic, extraordinary things and the guiding principles that take you from this point forward will lead you to be true to yourself, your family and your community and above all else you will follow your passion to make a difference in this chaotic yet needy healthcare world.”
Robert S.D. Higgins, MD, MSHA, the newly appointed president of Rush University, addressed nearly 800 graduates and shared his perspective on being a servant leader in the field of health care. The commencement ceremony also featured a University Marshal, Student Commencement Speaker, and Commencement Address.
Congratulations, Class of 2024—and don’t miss our resources for making the most of your life after graduation as a member of the Rush University alumni community.
