Welcome to our outstanding and soon-to-be-graduating students
to the College of Medicine Match Day ceremony.
You probably know that this incredible tradition happens nation wide at
the same time, all these seniors get to open their envelopes for their match results.
Jonathon!
So I'd like to ask Dean Dimitri Azar to please come to the podium. (applause)
Congratulations, everyone. All the hard work
that you've done is culminating into today.
Your achievements and dedication will soon be rewarded by placement into very competitive
and nationally recognized residency programs.
Yaaaay!
Ok, let's propose a toast for the University of Illinois at Chicago class of 2014. I wish
you continued success in your practice of medicine, and I know the future holds great
promises to each of you. Congratulations! Congratulations to everybody!
(applause)
This class is a very close, tight class, and
they want to open all their envelopes together, at the same time.
Did everyone who is here get their envelope? Yes?
(cheers)
We're gonna have a countdown, ok?
