Graduates, we congratulate you — the innovative and dedicated Engineering students of Spring 2011. As you officially move on from the University of Toronto on Wednesday, June 15, we take pride in knowing that you, along with more than 41,000 Skule™ alumni before you, will now have the ability and imaginations that can make a difference in the world. We see you as future engineers who will forever be on the cutting edge — innovating, influencing and being always at the forefront. You will be leaders and champions of great change and profound ideas. We salute you. For parents, families, friends, spouses and partners, this day marks the fulfillment of years of anticipation, as your endless support has led you to here, now, together. Savour this upcoming moment, all of you. This spring, 866 undergraduates and 176 graduate students will be receiving degrees. Among you, 467 undergraduates completed the PEY program and 23 were in the ELITE graduate program. All faculty, staff and alumni take great pride in your remarkable collective achievement. At the 10 am ceremony, our Honorary Graduand will be Anne Sado (IndE 7T7), the President of George Brown College. At the 2:30 pm ceremony, we will similarly honour Dr. Bert Wasmund (ChemE PhD 6T6), a world-renowned metallurgist, Vice-President at Hatch. Following the ceremony, the celebration continues, as we look forward to joining you at the reception being held in the Great Hall in Hart House. On behalf of U of T Engineering faculty and staff, I congratulate you on your success; it is remarkable. Welcome to the Engineering profession.
