Celebrate. Share the joy of your accomplishment with your family, friends, and the fellow graduates who will be your professional colleagues from this day forward. Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and say "well done" to yourself, quietly. Then be prepared for what comes next: more time, effort, focus, and sacrifice, as you do your utmost to serve the patients whose well-being has been your goal. They’ve been out there all along, anticipating the arrival of a caring, compassionate, expert healer. They’ve been waiting for you. I am proud of each and every one of you, and thrilled by your success. You make every member of the Western University of Health Sciences family proud. Warmest regards, Philip Pumerantz 2 WESTERN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES’ HISTORY 4 Western University of Health Sciences is an innovative graduate university for the health professions, dedicated to preparing tomorrow’s health practitioners to flourish as skilled, compassionate healers. The Pomona campus – established as the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) in 1977, and renamed WesternU in 1996 – now consists of nine colleges: COMP, Allied Health Professions, Pharmacy, Graduate Nursing, Veterinary Medicine, Dental Medicine, Optometry, Podiatric Medicine, and Biomedical Sciences. More than 3,900 students are enrolled in the University’s 21 degree programs; WesternU’s student applicant pool exceeds 16,000 annually; and its alumni total more than 11,000 As a thriving center for medical, health care and veterinary education, as well as research and community outreach, WesternU is poised to move into the future in an unprecedented and visionary way, comprehensively and successfully meeting the diverse health-related needs of a growing population. An innovative Interprofessional Education program brings together students from the University’s various disciplines in classroom and clinical settings to assess patient needs and develop treatment plans as a team. The goal is to foster a culture of collaboration that will serve as a model for modern health care. WesternU also has committed to serving the health care and medical education needs of the Pacific Northwest, with a medical campus – COMP-Northwest – that opened in 2011 in Lebanon, Oregon, and that reached full enrollment of more than 400 osteopathic medical students in fall 2014. COMP-Northwest’s inaugural class will graduate in June 2015. WesternU’s Founding President, Philip Pumerantz, PhD, has assembled an outstanding group of faculty and academic leaders who have built a rich tradition of academic excellence, patient-centered education, lifelong learning, professional leadership, and humanistic care, hewing to the University’s mission: “To produce, in a humanistic tradition, health care professionals and biomedical knowledge that will enhance and extend the quality of life in our communities.” 3 ORDER OF EXERCISES 2015 4 President Philip Pumerantz Presiding Prelude “Overture” by Craig Safan Processional “Pomp and Circumstance” by Sir Edward Elgar Alan D.

Policies he has initiated and implemented have been duplicated in cities across the nation. During his seven-year tenure as mayor, he led San Francisco to an economic recovery, balancing seven consecutive budgets without laying off a single teacher, police officer, or firefighter. Thirty-six days into his first mayoral term in 2004, Newsom threw himself into one of the most divisive issues in U.S. politics by allowing same-sex couples to marry in violation of state law. His administration also instituted a first-of-its-kind universal health care program without adding new taxes. Shortly after being elected Lieutenant Governor in 2010, Newsom gathered the ideas of key stakeholders around the state to develop an economic growth and job creation strategy. This comprehensive economic blueprint ensures that California remains one of the top 10 economies in the world. He is the author of “Citizenville,” which explores the intersection of democracy and technology in this everconnected world. The ideas in his book have been widely accepted by both Democrats and Republicans as a blueprint for government innovation and reform. Newsom is married to actress/producer Jennifer Siebel Newsom. They live in Marin County with their children, Montana, Hunter and Brooklynn. 8 Candidates for the Degree DOCTOR OF PODIATRIC MEDICINE 4 Aisha Ahmed Justin Milad Gandomani BS, Biology San Diego State University PDT: Department of Veterans Affairs/ Greater Los Angeles Healthcare Systems Los Angeles, California BS, Microbiology University of Oklahoma PDT: Jamaica Hospital Medical Center Jamaica, New York Teague Nelson Gearhart Oumou Belemou BS, Biology Shippensburg University PDT: Department of Veterans Affairs Lebanon, Pennsylvania Ajay Krishan Ghai BA, Biology Case Western Reserve University PDT: Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital Roanoke, Virginia Byron Nicolas Collier* BS, Chemistry Southern Connecticut State University PDT: Mount Auburn Hospital Cambridge, Massachusetts Samual Paul Gracey* Bioengineering University of Utah PDT: Jewish Hospital/ Kentucky One Health Louisville, Kentucky Alex Dawoodian Mark Edward Graeber Jeffrey Michael Demian BS, Human Biology University of California, San Diego PDT: Chino Valley Medical Center Chino, California BS, Life Sciences Arizona State University PDT: Department of Veterans Affairs Miami, Florida Ruth Nguyen Do Milad Sean Hedayat BS, Psychobiology University of California, Los Angeles PDT: Long Beach Memorial Medical Center Long Beach, California Midori Higashi* BS, Human Biology University of California, San Diego PDT: Swedish Medical Center Seattle, Washington Andrew Eskander Linguistics/Biology University of California, San Diego PDT: Doctors Hospital of West Covina West Covina, California Muhaiminu Hossain BS, Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics University of California, Los Angeles PDT: Hahnemann University Hospital Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Aarron Christopher Flowers* BS, Exercise Biology University of California, Davis PDT: Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Santa Clara, California Bryan James Levay BS, Biology California State University, Fresno PDT: Inova Fairfax Medical Campus Falls Church, Virginia *Graduate is a member of Lambda Chapter of Pi Delta, the National Honor Society for Podiatric Medicine.

THE GOWN — Although it may originally have been worn as protection against unheated medieval buildings, the academic gown today symbolizes the democracy of scholarship because it covers any dress of rank or social standing underneath. It is usually black. THE CAP — When Roman law freed the slave, he won the privilege of wearing a cap. The academic cap is a sign of the freedom and responsibility of scholarship. The color of the tassel is black, with the exception of the doctor’s tassel, which is gold. THE HOOD — The hood is lined with the official color of the college or university. The color of the facing denotes the discipline represented by the degree. Colors associated with different degrees are: Arts, white; Business, drab; Dental Medicine, lilac; Economics, copper; Education, light blue; Engineering, orange; Fine Arts, brown; Hospital Administration, salmon; Journalism, crimson; Law, purple; Medicine, kelly green; Music, pink; Nursing, apricot; Optometry, sea foam; Pharmacy, olive; Philosophy, dark blue; Physical Therapy, sage green; Podiatric Medicine, nile green; Public Administration, peacock blue; Science, golden yellow; Social Service, citron; Theology, scarlet; and Veterinary Medicine, gray.

The University Marshal has the honor of serving as the macebearer at these events. Historical maces date back to the 13th century, when they were first carried as ceremonial symbols of royal authority at events attended by English kings. The university mace was first used at the charter class graduation of the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) in 1982. The mace depicts the university seal, with the torch of knowledge coiled by a single serpent in the fashion of the Rod of Asclepius, set before a range of mountain peaks representing the pinnacle of academic achievement. The crowning ornament is a brass orb. Engraved upon a band encircling the mace shaft are the words: “EDUCATING HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS IN THE OSTEOPATHIC TRADITION.” The founding year of the University’s founding college is also engraved on a band in Roman numerals. The mace is permanently displayed in the President’s office. THE PRESIDENT’S MEDALLION AND COLLAR 4 The President’s medallion is in the form of the University Seal and is made of solid sterling silver with 22-karat gold overlay. The President’s Collar consists of black velvet with gold trim. It serves as a field for six medals that depict memorable milestones and significant aspects of Western University of Health Sciences, including the founding of the original college, the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP), in September 1977; the graduation of the charter class in June 1982; and the transition of COMP to Western University of Health Sciences in August 1996. Other medals on the President’s Collar include one of WesternU’s slogans, To Teach, To Heal, Together; WesternU’s core values: Caring, Compassion, Scientific Excellence; and a medal commemorating “National Influence and Leadership.” THE FLAGS 4 The 15 flags on stage represent the Western states that the institution was originally established to serve. Since then, WesternU has grown to provide health care education worldwide.
