Sweet Goodbyes

Another school year has come to an end, another class departing, and another about to begin. As all cohorts who come and go, the MFT class of 2011 will be missed. Friends and family gathered to honor the 2011 graduating class at the annual graduation celebration on August 11, 2011. This year it was held at the Lytle Bend Ranch and was catered by Joe Allen’s Barbecue. Barbeque, live entertainment, and the smell of the outdoors were enjoyed by all, but the memories of the past two years will be cherished forever. Kind words were offered for each graduate, individually appreciated for their God-given gifts and character. Class representatives spoke heartfelt words of encouragement, gratitude, and lifelong friendships. Special recognition was also given to the following: First Year Class Representative, Brittany Brumit; Second Year Class Representative, Elizabeth Brown; Outstanding First Year, Austin Brown; Outstanding Intern, Blake Berryhill; Spirit of the Therapist Award, Sybil Vess and Tyson Alexander; and Up Off the Mat Award, Kent Akers.

As these graduates disperse into the world, whether moving out of state, out of country, or staying in the area they will all be taking a piece of ACU’s MFT program with them. During the two years of the program, each class laughs, cries, quarrels, grows, strengthens, and matures together. This class has shared in countless wedding engagements, weddings, as well as family additions. Congratulations class of 2011 MMFTs! May God bless you and keep you all.
