Miller, Senior Vice Chancellor and Dean of the School of Allied Health and Dr. Barbara Atkinson, Executive Vice Chancellor of the University of Kansas Medical Center, addressed the students to wish them well and then congratulated them individually as their names were called to cross the stage. The ceremony was held in the Gymnasium at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas. One hundred sixty students from 15 degree programs participated.
