Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca have reached another milestone together.
After getting a stem-cell transplant as part of his ongoing battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma, Zohn, 38, was by the side of longtime girlfriend as she graduated Wednesday from Columbia University with a masters in Counseling & Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in substance abuse.
"Through over three years of blood, sweat, tears, heartache, bewilderment, flashes of genius and insight, filming our now Emmy-nominated show Everyday Health, filming Amazing Race, stem cell transplants, two years of Ethan's cancer treatments and sleepless nights, yesterday I graduated!" Morasca, 31, said on Thursday.
A healthy-looking Zohn – who is smiling in a photo of the couple – expresses how "proud" he is of his significant other. "To see her battle through all sorts of challenges and still find her passion for academics is such an inspiration," he tells PEOPLE. "Plus, now I don't have to pay for therapy."

"His doctor said there was no prize, and Ethan said, 'Yes, there is. You're going to tell the other patients that I made it out in three weeks.' "

"The first time, as devastating and crazy and horrible as it was, I was like, 'Fine, we're going to beat this,' " Morasca, 30, tells PEOPLE.
"This time was a lot more devastating for me because we'd already been through so much. We really had moved on with our life and we had a lot of stuff we wanted to do that didn't involve cancer – I didn't think we'd have to do this again."

Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca Explain Amazing Race Elimination
Originally posted 10/04/2011 12:15PM
Both Ethan Zohn and Jenna Morasca have won the title of sole Survivor, but another $1 million prize eluded the couple when they were eliminated Sunday from The Amazing Race.
Zohn and Morasca, who have been dating for eight years, decided to attempt the challenge of racing around the world after Zohn successfully battled cancer. But after misinterpreting a clue on the second leg of the race, the couple were eliminated in the show's first-ever double elimination.
Now in Los Angeles filming their new show Everyday Health, Zohn and Morasca spoke with PEOPLE about traveling around the world together and explained the costly blunder that caused their demise.
Before the Race you both mentioned that having won Survivor could work against you. Did it?
Jenna: I thought it would more than Ethan did because I tend to be more evil when it comes to planning game stuff like that. I though, "They're going to use it against us." But it wasn't as big of a deal as I made it out to seem. It's not like Survivor.
Ethan: When you're racing, you're just with your partner against the elements. It's not like teams can gang up on you and create an alliance and force you out in any way. Everyone is doing their own thing.

Now that Ethan Zohn's rare form of Hodgkin's lymphoma is in remission, the former Survivor contestant is savoring every healthy moment, and even took a triumphant run past the hospital where he spent months fighting for his life.
"I just – for the first time ever – jogged past the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City," Zohn told PEOPLE at the Stand Up to Cancer telecast in L.A. Friday, "and that was a big moment for me."
A robust-looking Zohn, once again sporting the trademark dark curls he lost after chemotherapy treatments, said the experience was exhilarating. "When I left that hospital on Jan. 12, 2010, I couldn't even walk," he said. "I had to be taken out in a wheelchair. So to be able to run by there, healthy, that was the best feeling in the world!"
