Commencement Speech by Bill Schlotterer
OU-COM's graduating Class of 2002 told to face the future with commitment and courage
ATHENS, Ohio -- "I want you to remember," said commencement speaker
William Schlotterer, D.O. ('80), to the College of Osteopathic Medicine's graduating
Class of 2002, "that the future does not belong to those who are content
with today, to those who are apathetic towards common problems and their fellow
man alike or to those timid and fearful in the face of new ideas and old problems."
Schlotterer delivered the address at OU-COM's 23rd graduation exercises June
1, during which the 94 members of the Class of 2002 became doctors of osteopathic
medicine. The ceremony took place in Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium
on Ohio University's Athens campus.
Commencement speaker Schlotterer was a member of the college's first graduating
class of 21 in 1980. Soon after establishing a family practice in Ohio, Schlotterer
found himself, as other physicians nationwide during the mid 1980s, facing the
growing AIDS crisis. He became an early and strong advocate of compassionate,
enlightened and comprehensive treatment for AIDS patients. In June 1990, Schlotterer
appeared on "ABC News with Peter Jennings" to discuss AIDS.
Facing the future with boldness and conviction, especially in the shadow of
the national tragedy of Sept. 11, said Schlotterer, was for those ready to fill
the future with "passion, reason and courage and a personal commitment
to the ideas and great enterprises of American society." "Let the
word go forth," he said, "from this time and this place to friend
and foe alike, that the torch is being passed to a new generation of Americans
coming of age in this millennium, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and
bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and with an unwillingness to witness
or permit a slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always
been committed and to which we are committed to today, at home and around the
world."
He also admonished the members of the graduating class to be appreciative of
the support and help, financial and moral, given to them by parents, grandparents,
professors and mentors. All of them, he said, had helped them achieve their
goals of becoming physicians. "Ladies and gentlemen, you have had the opportunity
to experience the finest medical education available. I encourage you all to
get out there and do your best. "In closing, ladies and gentlemen,"
he said, "this is the real thing. This is what you have been training for.
Make us proud."
