- Congratulations to
you, the class of 2020,
is what is certainly
the most extraordinary
send off of my 30 years at Stanford.
These flowers are not just
a fake Zoom background, by the way.
I can't tell you how
often in my role as Dean,
I appreciate the fact that
the School of Engineering
is full of, well engineers.
Engineers are problem solvers.
They're collaborative, optimistic
and they get things done.
Those traits will serve
you especially well
in the coming months and years.
I feel confident that
whatever path you choose,
you will make Stanford proud,
as you put your
engineering mindset to work
in helping the world
recover and grow stronger.
Go to it and congratulations again.
- Hi, I'm Stephen Boyd.
I'm the Chair of the EE Department.
Ordinarily I'd be the
one who would be handing
you your diploma in June
with beautiful weather,
under a big tent with 1500 people.
It's a lot of fun, but
unfortunately we won't
be able to do it this year.
In lieu of that, I wanna
congratulate every single
one of you on your accomplishment.
I also wanna give you
the best wishes from me
and from the department in
your continuing journey.
Please keep in touch with us.
Come back, visit your professors.
We love that.
It's great for us to see how
you're doing and it's great.
- Congratulations the class of 2020.
You all have come a very long way
since you first got here four years ago.
It's been really fun getting to know you.
It'd be really interesting
to see what you all do next.
Please try to make the
world a better place.
We all really need your help right now.
And stay in contact.
We'd love to hear what you do next.
- Hi I'm Brad Osgood.
I'm the Associate Chair
for Graduate Studies in the department.
And I join my colleagues in congratulating
you on your achievement.
Completed under very
difficult circumstances.
You are a Stanford engineer and
you should be proud of that.
And we are proud of you.
You join a long line of Stanford engineers
who have preceded you and
those who will follow you.
And you all got your start at Stanford.
As uncertain as your
next few steps may be,
please take confidence in what
you've accomplished so far
and know that your future is a bright one.
Please keep in touch.
Keep in touch with us and
keep in touch with each other.
And again, all the best to you.
