Congratulations Class of 2020. You are already truly remarkable. We cannot wait to see how far go and how much you achieve as Schulich engineers.
Bill Rosehart
Dean of the Schulich School of Engineering
Dear Schulich engineering class of 2020,
You have been on quite a journey to get to graduation. You have so much to celebrate.
There are hundreds of stories of your achievements and of your positive impact on the Schulich School of Engineering.
As a class, you have watched our engineering buildings transform from a network of construction sites into a completely new environment to learn in. You have been among the first to build in our Maker Multiplex, to lead in our Engineering leadership Program, or to volunteer your engineering skills around the world through global learning experiences.
In these uncertain times, you have shown resilience like no other graduating class I have ever known. Throughout COVID-19, and the sudden switch to remote learning, you have remained focused on your goals, asked for help when you needed it, and above all – you stayed the course. You made it to graduation.
Shaking your hand as you cross the convocation stage will have to wait for a bit. Please know that I could not be any prouder of who you are and what you have achieved.
Take that entrepreneurial spirit forward. Use your passion and your training to truly make a difference. Never has there been an era in which there is more possibility for positive change than at this very moment. The world is calling on you to find new solutions to the problems it has long faced. Now is your time. Engineer the change we need most.
Congratulations,
Dean Bill Rosehart
