Dear Graduates,

Congratulations to the entire graduating class of 2020! It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to our commencement exercises. We regret that circumstances do not allow us to all be in one room together today, but we are certainly joined in spirit. Today, we honor and celebrate the culmination of your hard work and your commitment to fulfilling your dreams. Now armed with advanced degrees, I am confident that you will continue to transform your aspirations into realities. Touro strives to provide an innovative educational environment

for our graduate programs that go beyond classroom instruction. It is our hope that this unique approach to graduate education has prepared you with the skills necessary to maximize your impact on the world. Your graduation occurs during a challenging time. The coronavirus pandemic has brought all of civilization face to face with a crisis that few, if any, could have imagined. The only answer is to persevere with confidence and empathy. Your experiences here have been enriched by Touro’s mission to model the values of compassion, service and social justice, and I am confident that we have instilled in you a commitment to serve humankind. You are ambassadors of our institution, and your service to your communities will attest to the values of our mission. Now is the time to apply all the knowledge and skills you have learned at Touro and live with passion and purpose. As alumni, you remain members of the Touro family. I invite you to join us in alumni activities, stay connected and share your stories of success with your deans and instructors so that we may continue to take pride in your achievements. You will always remain a part of Touro’s legacy and future.

Best wishes,

Dr. Alan Kadish President

of Blessed Memory ’לזצ’

Dr. Mark Hasten, Chairman of the Board, The Touro College and University System, passed away on February 28 at the age of 92. Dr. Hasten was a visionary leader and ardent supporter of Touro. An engineer as well as an entrepreneur in myriad businesses, including banking, real estate and health care, Dr. Hasten long focused his philanthropic interests on education. Chairman during Touro’s most significant period of growth, he helped Touro launch its western divisions in California and Nevada and was a major contributor to the establishment of Touro’s Lander College for Women- The Anna Ruth and Mark Hasten School, in Manhattan. During his 25-year tenure as Chairman of the Board, Touro’s student body doubled in size -- from 9,000 to over 18,000 students.

Touro became one of the leading and largest health care educators in the U.S., and its university system grew to 34 campuses and locations, mostly in New York but also in California, Nevada, Moscow, Israel and Berlin. Always passionate about education and especially interested in higher education that offered a Jewish environment, Hasten joined the board of Touro College in 1977 and became chairman in 1995. He and Touro founder, Dr. Bernard Lander, were extremely close, sharing a vision for building from the ground up. “Dr. Hasten’s business acumen and expertise helped realize Dr. Lander’s educational vision,” said Dr. Alan Kadish, Touro College President. “I don’t believe Touro could have developed into what it did without Dr. Hasten’s hands-on operational leadership and guidance as Chairman of the Board. He was a leader who supported the institution through thick and thin, who had vision, drive and tremendous ability,” said Kadish. “He was a leader in business, government and education and always remained approachable, humble, warm and engaging.” “Dr. Hasten spoke to our students often of the four “Ps” necessary for success – patience, persistence, positivity and perseverance and he exemplified all those traits,” said President Kadish.
