SCHOOL YEAR! Last
Saturday’s first annual School of MIME Commencement Ceremony at the OSU LaSells
Stewart Center celebrated the graduation of more than 100 MIME seniors,
master’s, and PhD students. Belinda Batten, Professor and School Head,
had the pleasure of welcoming the graduating students and their friends and
family members who packed the auditorium. The ceremony featured four
student speakers: Lijuan Wang (IE grad student), Peter van Tamelen (ME grad
student), Adam Eriksen (IE senior), and Layne Clemen (ME senior). Ron Adams,
Dean of the College of Engineering, gave the keynote address. Commenting on how
radically the world has changed during the past 75 years and the challenges and
opportunities that lie ahead for today’s engineering graduates, Dean Adams
concluded his talk with the following action item for our newest MIME alums:
“When you have that first success, that first wonderful feeling of ‘I did
it!!,’ please sit down and write a thank-you note to faculty and staff who
helped you along the way.” We want to
echo and reinforce Dean Adams’ request with our own invitation to stay in touch
as you move out into your futures. Congratulations,
OSU MIME Class of 2008 graduates, and thanks to all who made this year’s
commencement ceremony the best yet! Note to commencement ceremony attendees: We are currently compiling an online album of 2008 MIME
commencement photos (viewable at http://mime.oregonstate.edu/gallery/graduation_2008)
and we need your photos! Please
email them to Jennifer at jennifer.dollins@oregonstate.edu,
or bring/send a CD to Rogers 204. KUDOS to 2008 MIME WIC
