hi I'm Cole Smith and the Dean of the
college of engineering and computer
science want to congratulate you on your
accomplishments this is Professor Shiu-
Kai Chin wishing you the very best as
you start your careers as EECS graduates
I am particularly talking to electrical
engineering graduating seniors I miss
seeing you guys on the third floor. I'm so excited because I have the opportunity to say
congratulations to the 2020 ECSC seniors it is awesome that you are graduating we
know you're gonna go off and do really
great things and we can't wait to follow
you along your journey we are so proud
of you and all of your accomplishments
even though you're not able to celebrate
on campus this weekend it doesn't
diminish your accomplishment in any way
be proud of what you've achieved over
the last couple of years and I know that
each of you have come and will be
leaving this university different than
the day you came here I wish nothing but
the best for you I know that you guys
will go on to do great things even
though we're not together to celebrate
its milestone I want you to know that we
are all thinking of you your time as an
easiest unit may be coming to an end
but the journey that you will embark on
is an ECS alum will be certain to
continue to make us proud it's been a
real privilege to have you in my classes
I know that you have the three things it
takes to make a difference one you have
the technical skills
two you care about people and three you
always lead by example I know some of
you have some great opportunities some
of you will be going into research some
of you will be going into continuing
education and some of you will be going
out into some of these engineering
companies that will be responsible for
helping us to overcome the challenges
that we've had in the last few months
I'm really sorry I'm not there to do
this in person but if you don't mind I'm
gonna ask you two things from the Dean
the first is to please don't
underestimate all you've learned here at
Syracuse you know there's a lot that
you're worried about maybe not being
able to remember like your dynamics
lessons or your doing programming syntax
or your physics or chemistry lessons
certain equations that you probably
won't remember I mean you'll probably
have to look and back up when you need
them but what you've really learned in
your career so far is how to think how
to persevere and how to innovate when
you really need it and don't be afraid
to go think a big about your career it's
that kind of mindset that's really gonna
serve you well both inside of work and
outside of work and I can't wait to see
what you accomplish there the second
thing is along those lines I can't wait
to see what you accomplish so please
stay in touch with us I want you to know
that wherever life may lead your orange
family will be here to support you and
encourage you I am sure you made an
impact while you were here at Syracuse
University and we look forward to
hearing about all the wonderful things
that you're going to do I wish you much
success in your future endeavors please

Syracuse University we want to know what
you're doing so please keep in touch we

you the very best

graduation and I hope you stay healthy

us know how things are going

you're interested to help us mentor the
next wave of students to share with them
your successes and the opportunities
that you've accomplished after your
graduation what you've been able to do
please don't forget us come back
communicate us with us electronically
and do social media come back and hire
some people who are here looking for
internships and please be well and know
that this was the best time of your life
