Congratulations to Spring 2021 Graduating ECPS Students

Dear ECPS Graduates (see below for a list of graduates),

It is with tremendous pleasure and enthusiasm that we are sending this message in recognition of your accomplishment today. We also recognize that this is simply a step in a much larger journey, and we want to joyfully wish you all the best as you embark on the next stages of your professional and academic life.

We also want to honour the fact that your accomplishments have happened during a time of unprecedented global upheaval. None of you anticipated that the last year and a half of your program would be virtual, or that we would be celebrating graduation online and through email. We want to acknowledge and applaud the resilience you have shown, as well as your ability to be flexible and to adjust to new learning situations. Your efforts have been real and our recognition is heartfelt.

One day we will all look back on this time, and remember how we did things in ways that we had never thought we could. It will add to the value of what you are celebrating today. You will all have graduated at a notable moment in time, and is important to recognize the unique conditions you faced leading up to your graduation.

Sincerest congratulations to each and all of you. We hope that one day in the very near future we will be able to share these sentiments in person, but know that this virtual message isn’t any less meaningful or less well-intended. We are here with you and celebrate your accomplishment with you. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves, and we hope that each of you will be able to celebrate in some small way.

Best wishes to all of you.

Sincerely,

Jenna Shapka and Serge Lacroix, on behalf of all ECPS faculty and staff
