The sixth graduating class of the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine Behind the scenes: Getting ready for commencement Dr. John Burton, department chair and professor of emergency medicine, was selected by the students to give the faculty commencement address. Virginia Tech President Dr. Tim Sands welcomed the crowd to the first graduation since VTCSOM became part of Virginia Tech last summer. Keynote speaker Nancy Howell Agee, president and CEO of Carilion Clinic, emphasized how proud Carilion is of its medical students. Dr. Aubrey Knight, senior dean for student affairs, served as master of ceremonies. The Class of 2019 selected Class President Andrew Barr to be one of two student speakers. Nathan Ziman was one of two members of the Class of 2019 who spoke. One of the highlights of the ceremony is the official hooding of each graduate. This year's class had 37 students who will traverse the country shortly after graduation to start their residencies. Roanoke's historic Jefferson Center is a magestic venue for the VTCSOM graduation. The VTCSOM hoods consist of green trim (the traditional color for the field of medicine) and are lined with silk panels of maroon and blue, for Virginia Tech and Carilion, respectively. Andrew Hanna recieves his diploma from Interim Dean Dan Harrington. VTCSOM's mace, seen beside the podium, was a gift to the medical school from Virginia Tech. The Class of 2019 acknowledges friends and family who have supported their journey through medical school. The last order of business before the recessional is recitation of the Hippocratic Oath. Faculty members line up for a group shot after the ceremony. Drs. Jenn Park and Ryan Duffy are flanked by friends and family. New doctor Airi Katoh with her parents.
