2、dent speech delivered at the washington university engineering graduate student recognition ceremony15 may 1997lorrie faith cranorfaculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.i am honored to address you tonight. on behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of washington
3、universitys school of engineering and applied science, i would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. i would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. i
4、would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. and finally i would like to thank the washington university faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and fri
5、ends. as i think back on the seven-and-a-half years i spent at washington university, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous. tonight i would like to share with you some of the memories that i take with me as i leave washington university. i take with me the memo
6、ry of my office on the fourth floor of lopata hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the womens restroom. the window was my offices best feature. were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforde
7、d me a clear view of the arch. but instead i got a view of the roof of the physics building. i also had a view of one corner of the roof of urbauer hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. and i had a nice
8、 view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. its amazing how fascinating these views became the longer i worked on my dissertation. but my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. from my fourth-floor vantage point i had a rather intimate view of the
9、tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us. i take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while i was a graduate student. anne johnstone, the only female professo
10、r from whom i took a course in the engineering school, and bob durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. i remember them fondly. i take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses i too
11、k as an undergraduate. i remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that i would never be able to pass it. so i went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. and he told me not to give up, he told me i could succeed in his class. for reasons that seemed completely ludicrous
12、at the time, he said he had faith in me. and after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and i ended the semester with an a on the final exam. i remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me. i take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me wh
13、en i arrived in st. louis 8 years ago. since moving to new jersey, i am sad to say, nobody has asked me where i went to high school. i take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. the idea was that groups of cs grad students were supposed to
14、take turns cooking a monthly lunch. but after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire cs grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasnt much enthusiasm for having more lunches. i take with me the memory of a more successful gr
15、aduate student effort, the establishment of the association of graduate engineering students, known as ages. started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, ages soon grew into an organization that n
16、ow sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns. i take with me the memory of an engineering and policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students. i take with me memories of the 1992 u.s. presidential debate. eager to get involved in all the excitement i volunteered to help wherever needed
