    Honoring the Class of 2021

    “The story of the Class of 2021 is one of human potential and it’s bolstered by the transformative power of education and research,” President Schlissel said during his commencement address. He also called upon graduates to address global climate change in their communities and professions, saying, “We will not solve the climate crisis if we are merely an island in a rising sea of apathy and inaction.”
