We are excited to celebrate commencement with the Public Policy undergraduate and graduate students on June 16th.
At our annual end of year celebration in May, Student Servcies Offer, Kelly Walsh, read a poem that she wrote to the graduate students including the names of all 24 graduating students.
Dear graduates of the class of 2024
Congratulations are in order, you all passed the core
There are 24 of you this year, the coterms number 18
That’s 75% of the class, the most we’ve ever seen
Let me tell you about your cohort and who’s graduating with you
Your policy interests are varied, and you are a passionate crew
There are four earning an MPP: Declan, Jeff, Joanna and Jingyue
Plus Taylor and Carmen will receive their MA, this year there are only two
Erick, Joven, Liam and Noah weren’t done yet and stayed for a 5th year
Diving deep into their varied concentrations without any fear
Then we have our econ majors: Ivy, Lukas, James, Xin, Jackson, Iskander and Josh
Some started thinking about Pub Pol when they met Greg, in his seminar for frosh
Finally our Track C coterms: Yoo Ra, Nazanin, Jeremy, Allyse, Caetano, Glede and Vivian
Who hail from IR, CS, Poli Sci, Hum Bio and our first ever Fem Gen
The ten week quarters flew by and now you are almost done
You learned many new skills and squeezed in some fun
You enjoyed dinners at Greg’s home and grad student dinners close by
Plus some of you went to Washington DC, receiving sponsorship to fly
Before I end this poem, you may be wondering if I used chat gpt
Well, the answer is NO, it was 100% created lovingly by me
Now it’s time to raise a glass to toast YOU, the class of 2024
Go out and change the world, we’ll remember you forever more
