They had not yet formally stepped foot into the real world. Still, the graduating Class of 2013 was clearly prepared to enter it, judging by the remarkable degree of poise and positiv- ism on display May 19. Student speaker Alec Storrie-Lombardi ’13 (engineering)
urged classmates to leap fearlessly into whatever murky waters lay ahead because this crop of HMC grads is “going to make quite a splash.” President Maria Klawe said she knew of “no other institu-
tion that pushes its students to do so much hard thinking…” Nor could she name another school where “helping others suc- ceed…is probably the most valuable thing you will take with you for the rest of your life, because people who make others successful are sought after.”
Rigorous scholastics were celebrated by keynoter Carl
Wieman, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics (he cre- ated the fi rst Bose-Einstein ultra-low-temperature condensate), former White House Offi ce of Science and Technology Policy associate director and founder of science-education institutes at the universities of Colorado and British Columbia. Said Wieman, “…When the brain’s pushed hard, it responds by changing and getting better….So, there’s real value in all that very hard work that you did.”
