“At Ross University, we strive to provide a rich learning
experience that encourages our graduates to bring a global
perspective and appreciation for diversity to their careers in
medicine,” said RUSM dean and chancellor Joseph A. Flaherty, M.D.
“These men and women leave Ross as citizens of a changing world,
prepared to do their part to improve the health and well-being of
the communities in which they practice. We are honored to welcome
Nicholas Kristof to share this special day with our graduates and
their families; his work to expose and address challenges to human
rights and social justice around the world is a wonderful example
for our graduates looking to make a difference in the lives around
them.”
Kristof, who has worked at The New York Times since 1984, has
been recognized internationally for his reporting on issues such as
the Darfur conflict, the pro-democracy student movement in China
and human trafficking. He has a large following on social media and
writes a twice-weekly column focusing on global health, poverty and
gender issues in the developing world.
This year, more than 800 RUSM graduates earned residency
positions in hospitals across the United States and Canada. Over
two-thirds of those new residents will launch careers in
pediatrics, internal medicine and family medicine.
