“Go out into the world, the new world that now faces us — and be confident that you’re prepared. Congratulations!” -- Dean Christine Himes

“I’m really confident that having come through our programs, you’re in a great position to take advantage of the opportunities that will lie ahead, and you will be the people who help to shape the future.” -- Dean Christine Himes

“You have skills that other people don’t have. You’ve been immersed in the language of science, engineering, architecture...You understand the variety of disciplines that exist in the way that people think." -- Dean Christine Himes

“We need people who understand and appreciate the importance of social interactions and social relationships — and know the stresses and anxieties that can come about in times of uncertainty and fear.” -- Dean Christine Himes

“Now, more than ever, is a time when we need people with your backgrounds. We need people who can effectively communicate — people who can take complex ideas and put them into language we can all understand." -- Dean Christine Himes

“You made it here. You’re now a graduate — and that’s really something we can’t take away — that social distancing, and quarantining and isolation is not going to change.” -- Dean Christine Himes
