Graduation is always a bitter/sweet experience. One has to say goodbye to students at that point in their development when they’ve become most self-aware and integrated. It has been a privilege to teach and know so many of them. Each one is irreplaceable. I anticipate that they’ll all go on to find a meaningful place in this world, and some will achieve significance in the chosen field:
