School of Allied Health Professions Hosts Completion Ceremony for Clinical Program Graduates

By President's Office Aug 12, 2025

Monroe proudly celebrated the accomplishments of our School of Allied Health Professions (SAHP) graduates at the Clinicals Completion Ceremony, held yesterday at the scenic Beach Point Club in Mamaroneck. 

It was a wonderful day for the students and their families, who were warmly invited to join us for this joyful celebration of their loved one's impressive academic achievement.

Forty-four students from the Medical Assisting and Diagnostic Medical Sonography programs were invited to participate, marking the successful completion of two of Monroe’s most rigorous and rewarding paths of study in the School of Allied Health Professions.


Medical Assisting students fulfilled 175 hours of hands-on clinical training, while Sonography students completed an impressive 600 hours in the field. Together, their achievements represent five semesters of intensive coursework, skill-building, and dedication.

"Completing a clinical program is a true testament to perseverance and dedication,” said Dr. Sandy Adler, Dean of the School of Allied Health Professions. “Our graduates have demonstrated exceptional commitment and academic excellence. We are proud of all that they have accomplished.”

Many members of the University's administration were in attendance, including President Marc Jerome, who made congratulatory remarks. 

The ceremony also honored Dr. Jerry Kostroff,  Vice President of Academic Operations, with a special award recognizing his many years of leadership and service to the School of Allied Health Professions. With gratitude and admiration, the University celebrated his enduring impact in shaping the department, as well as his ever-present support, patience, kindness, and sense of humor.


The participating students will come together once again in June for the University's formal Commencement at Radio City Music Hall. 

Congratulations again to our amazing SAHP graduates -- and to Dr. Kostroff for his lasting contributions to the University community.
