Dear Class of 2020,
I would like to congratulate you for achieving your goal of earning a master’s or doctoral degree in nursing! You have all worked so hard and have pushed through a very difficult final semester, but together with the support of your faculty, advisors, family, and friends, you did it!

A Message from Dr. Mary Ann Hart

Congratulations to the graduates of the Regis College MHA program! There could not be a more challenging time to take on leadership and management roles in health administration, as the COVID-19 pandemic tests the resiliency of our health care financing and delivery systems. You, as a health care professional, will be at the center of what comes next, and that could not be more exciting. More than ever, your commitment and professional expertise will be needed both to get through this difficult period as well as to seize new opportunities for innovation and improvement in health care organizations and policy as we move forward.
A Message from President Hays
President of Regis College
A heartfelt congratulations to you on this ceremonious day! We recognize that today’s success wasn’t just handed to you. All the hours of sleep you’ve had to surrender for an upcoming exam, all the times you’ve had to fall to your textbooks after a long day of work when you’d rather fall to your beds, and all the vacations you’ve had to reschedule to collaborate with your classmates. It’s the accumulation of all your sacrifices, hard work, and perseverance that made today possible.
– Kay Kim, Student Support Services
