The Wright State University School of Professional Psychology celebrated the graduation of 24 students at its 37th annual commencement ceremony July 20 in the Student Union Apollo Room.<\/p>\n

With the graduation of the class of 2018, the School of Professional Psychology now boasts 875 alumni serving in nearly every state and multiple countries around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe class of 2018, you are now part of SOPP\u2019s long legacy of excellence,\u201d said Provost Thomas Sudkamp. \u201cWe are incredibly proud of what you\u2019ve achieved so far and can\u2019t wait to see what you will accomplish in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 24 graduates hail from eight states and three foreign countries: Canada, India and Malaysia. Thirteen members of the class earned 4.0 grade point averages. One graduate will be a psychologist at the U.S. Air Force biomedical unit and three completed internships at VA medical centers.<\/p>\n

The keynote address was delivered by Jessica Henderson Daniel, president of the American Psychological Association and associate professor of psychology at the Harvard Medical School. She told the graduates to always act with integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you do, do it with integrity. People will remember what you do and how you do it,\u201d said Daniel, who is the first African American woman to serve as president of the American Psychological Association.<\/p>\n

\"\"She also challenged the class to mentor and help others. \u201cYou will be in a position to help others to be all that they can be and to do it well,\u201d she said. \u201cThe world needs people you to believe in other people to move it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

You have skills, have worked hard and preserved, she told the graduates. \u201cNow make the most of it,\u201d Daniel said. \u201cThere is no greater goal for humankind to leave the world in a better place than when you found it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wright State trustee C.D. Moore II, a retired Air Force lieutenant general, told the graduates: \u201cWe know you will do great things and build on the legacy of previous graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n
