Owner / veterinarian of Yolinda Animal Hospital Dr. Rana Olsen was the commencement speaker at the graduation of the class of 2010 of Crafton Hills College, Yucaipa, which took place last Thursday, May 20th.

In an inspirational speech, Dr. Olsen drew on her experiences as a veterinarian, business owner, and animal advocate to encourage the graduates to aim high and work hard, noting “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

Crafton Hills College President Gloria Harrison said ‘We are very proud that Dr. Olsen is an alumnus of Crafton Hills’. Dr. Olsen said ‘Being asked to speak at the commencement ceremony was an incredible honor’.
