\"\"<\/a>Dean Paul Larrat urged graduates to always \u201cact to maintain that trust\u201d patients need to have for their pharmacists as they embark on their careers after 165 of them received their degrees Sunday, May 20, in the Mackal Field House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a psychological component to all medications,\u201d Larrat told the group in his closing remarks Sunday. \u201cWhy is this? There\u2019s that psychological effect because patients trust that that medication is going to work; they trust their prescriber; they trust the person that dispenses and supplies them with pharmaceutical information. In short, they trust the system from which that medication comes. They trust you; each and every one of you. So my challenge to you today as you leave is to always maintain that trust, act to maintain that trust. Always act in a professional manner. Always be trustworthy. Indeed, it\u2019s really the health of the patients that will benefit from that trust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, graduate Paige Lovellette led her now former classmates in one final \u201cRhody, Rhody, Rhody\u201d chant while delivering the student commencement address. Lovellette reflected on her years at the university with an eye to the future, noting that while graduation is an end, \u201ccommencement is a beginning.\u201d She urged her fellow graduates to \u201cdare to be different\u201d and embrace all opportunities that will come their way.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe University of Rhode Island has given you an incredible instrument, and it is important to take what you have learned these past six years and continue to grow and blossom,\u201d Lovellette said. \u201cWe are at a time in our country when anyone, from any place, at any age can make a difference. There will be times when opportunities present themselves. Do not be afraid to take them. Every opportunity brings us a chance to make that difference. Create those opportunities and vow to be a difference maker.\u201d<\/p>\n
