Annual Commencement Reception

2015 Commencement Reception
On Friday, May 15, amidst all the festivities of commencement, the graduating PAFs were celebrated and the incoming PAFs were welcomed at the annual PAF Commencement Reception. President Steven Knapp delivered welcoming remarks praising the longevity of the PAF program and the substantial impact PAFs have had on the GW community in the past year alone. PAF Program Director, Robert Snyder, GWSB BBA ’95 was also recognized with the annual Peter Konwerski Award. Congratulations to Robert on receiving this award.
 
Thank you to all the alumni who joined the celebration and continue to support the program. With PAF alumni, preceptors, current fellows, parents and family members, and the Advising Team in attendance, it was wonderful to see the PAFamily come together.
 
As an incoming PAF myself, it was truly inspiring to get a feel for the PAFamily at large. Also, I was left in awe by the kind words that the continuing fellows shared about the graduating fellows. I am looking forward to being part of a culture of such respect and camaraderie.
