shout and do all of that after 2 seconds leave room for the next person to call their names let's all be respectful of each other to have a wonderful and amazing graduation to all of my friends here I remember graduating with my Master's Degree you know yesterday cuz cuz I'm so young and so I want to say congratulations to each of you and welcome to being Yellow Jackets come on give yourselves a round of applause [Applause] [Music] [Music] e [Music] [Music] la [Music] [Music] [Music] good morning graduates it's like y'all don't want to graduate good morning graduates yeah and good morning to our Georgia Tech families and loved ones I invite everyone to stand as we welcome Industrial Engineer Bethany Ponder to the stage to sing the national Anthony Bethany oh say can you see by the dawn's early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last [Music] gleaning who's brought stripes and bright Stars through the parous fight or the red parts we watched were so gallantly streaming and the rocket red glare the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there oh say does that star spangled bner yet W or the land of the free and the home of the bra [Applause] great job please be seated thank you Bethany and congratulations she received her undergraduate degree [Applause] yesterday and is blessed with a beautiful voice I don't have any of those capabilities unfortunately recently welcome everyone to history our first ever College of Engineering master's degree ceremony yeah to those of you who just came from Bobby do stadium and the institute-wide ceremony with President Cabrera welcome on this December morning inside warm and cozy mamish Pavilion [Applause] I'm Raheem be Dean and Southern Company chair and it is my lifelong honor to be a double jacket just like you I received my master's degree from this college in fact in this building 25 years ago then earned a PhD both in electrical and computer engineering being a yellow jacket graduate is something that has shaped my research and professional career it also is a huge source of pride in my personal life on this day I welcome you to the club today and always we are hell of a [Applause] engineers at the same time my congratulations are not reserved just for these amazing students that are in front of me also look to those who surround them here in mamish the family the friends classmates and also the loved ones these graduates did not arrive here alone they are here because of your support and encouragement so congratulations to you as [Applause] well I joined on stage with members of our College leadership team drors Damon Williams Matthew block Doug Williams and Kim Curtis as well as school chairs and representatives from each school who will introduce our graduates during the ceremony also on our stage are two guest speakers who you'll hear from shortly the final member of our Stage Group is aerospace engineers engineerings Demetri Mavis he's a recipient of this guy's a celebrity I knew that well the most important thing is that he's a hell of an engineer he's a Georgia Tech engineer and he's also an amazing faculty member he is the recipient of this year's 1934 distinguished professor Award the highest honor given to a tech Professor congratulations [Applause] Dmitri this number I'm about to mention is so large that we had to scratch out what was printed and there's actually a written number that's here 55 of his students are graduating today and so is his daughter oh congratulations to you Dimitri and to Sophia who is receiving her Masters in biomedical engineering as she continues to work towards her doctorate I know many of you already heard speeches at the first ceremony so I'm going to keep my comments brief and give the floor to our speakers then I'll seed the stage to you our graduates there are few consistent themes when I walk when I walk around and and talk to our Lums uh who I actually meet all across the world they certainly talk about the rigor of academics we all felt that how hard it was to get through Georgia Tech um but they appreciate that it is a manual mental accomplishment they also tell me and anyone who will listen that their experience in and out of the classroom gave them the confidence to take on any challenge that came their way Tech made them ready for their first job and every job after that we hear the same thing from employers when they talking about Georgia Tech alums at their companies it is why I know that you are ready to take on some of the most pressing engineering challenges in the world this includes sustainability Engineers are the ones that are creating solutions for the World As We face the effects of climate change and Engineers also Drive innovation in medicine as we see time and time again in culture BME and then there's this thing that you probably have not heard of it's called AI this is already persistent in our lives even if we're not exactly sure what it is and and what's next for it Engineers are creating algorithms and Hardware that are shaping the future for those of you in this field I implore you to always keep ethics at the Forefront of your thinking as you incorporate AI into Mindful Solutions no matter which societal challenge that you help to solve in your career I challenge you to ensure that equity and fairness are always implemented into everything that you do this is our responsibility as hell of a Engineers most importantly this morning this is a day you have worked hard to reach you've already made great impact on Georgia Tech and your community now you are ready to change the world again [Applause] congratulations I next like to introduce today's student speaker deini visalakshi demin is graduating with her Masters in AE to go along with the management of Technology certificate ific her research her research focuses on various projects in the digital design and manufacturing of Aerospace Systems including leveraging digital twin technology and applying systems Advanced engineering methods to improve safety and traceability prior to graduate school she worked at Boeing and Ron during her time at Georgia Tech she has demonstrated exceptional leadership as the VP of professional development for the graduate student government Association and as a lead fellow with the Georgia Tech leadership education and development program outside of AE she's passionate about using dance as a medium to inspire individuals to pursue careers in stem and to bridge the gap between the Performing Arts and Science please welcome demin V visalakshi sorry to the stage distinguished guests faculty fellow graduates and loved ones I remember the day I landed in the United States carrying two decades of my life in just two suitcases I dreamed about this moment for years excited by what I could learn in Aerospace research I made it but my bags did not my phone refused to turn on there I was clutching my documents asking for directions to Peach Tree something turns out Atlanta has 71 peach tree streets 71 on day one how fun but as a reality sank in doubts begin to replace the dreams that I brought me here with eventually I asked for help from a stranger who happened to be from gech she helped me settle in and showed me around when the sun set on the first day the word Tech glowed on top of tech Tower she spoke about a tradition of stealing the tees on campus I was too lost by my missing bags but something about that missing te stuck with me it was not just my backs that were lost it felt something deeper that was missing have you ever felt that way life for Tech was a master class in juggling balancing research School daily responsibilities all over together we pulled all nighters at Crossland and still made it to 8:00 a.m. classes we survived on Ramen and free food from campus events found joy in small winds but graduate school tested us there were days when pressure felt overwhelming and doubts crept in as an aerospace engineer I couldn't help but draw a parallel just like how drag slows down an aircraft pressures of school weighed me down but despite that an aircraft flies with Glory by countering the negative forces with positive forces and that is where I found my positive forces at Tech through Community collaboration and curiosity through student organizations like graduate student government I found purpose in advocating for graduate students and building a supportive Community I made friends from around the globe friends who gave 3:00 a.m. pep talks pushed me to explore Brad soup when I was sick I remember for a course project I was part of a multi-disciplinary team to build an autonomous system within a week we built a prototype how miraculous is that and I remember reading 20 papers just on flow flow modeling to be specific because a faculty pushed me to question my assumptions and see things differently these forces at Tech kept me going and made me reflect on what mattered more to me now 2 years after my first day at Tech I can put into words what I was missing my why my purpose it felt bured in the frustration of moments when I was lost without my luggage that same feeling written during various moments when graduate school challenged me it was like the missing tea on the tech Tower something essential felt out of place but the missing te tradition has taught me what is lost isn't gone it is waiting to be reclaimed rediscovery does not happen on its own it requires action and that is where Georgia Tech made all the difference I was able to find my Why by connecting communicating and collaborating and finding curiosity today as we all start new Journeys there will be moments in our lives when our wife feels buried but here at Tech we've learned how to reclaim it by leaning on to the positive forces and using that as fuel to our momentum just like we have done to reach at this moment to you who moved from home to you who studied online to you who balanced a job and to you who return to redefine to you who lost a loved one to you you who battled pain and to you who chose this path unsure of what you would gain this moment is yours this moment is ours and behind this moment are our family friends and mentors who have stood by us through it all let's give it a moment for all the people who have been with us in this journey thank you I would now I would now like to thank the faculty and staff in the school of aerospace engineering my adviser Dr Mavris, who is on Stage. when I think about this moment, uh my parents couldn't be here with me today but I can almost see them in the front row cheering for me whatever I am and will be is because of your love and sacrifices congratulations class of 2024 we are leaders innovators and Helluva engineers.
our momentum is Unstoppable and we are here ready to serve the world thank [Applause] you I am so glad that I am not following uh Dean no pressure uh to our our CEO that's coming up up in a few minutes thank you so much to me for that uh powerful Testament I um I I you reminded me of uh when I was in graduate school I started getting a little nervous uh for a while but I'm I'm unfortunately I got out a little while ago uh congratulations to you and on your AE degree and I know your parents are super excited and super proud of you I am honored now to welcome this year's fall commencement speaker Satish D aexa run here earn his master's degree in electrical engineering and is president and CEO of kyite Technologies kyite is at the Forefront of accelerating Innovation across multiple technology sectors including AI Next Generation Wireless Automotive Quantum Computing and defense modernization Sati started his career as an engineer designing handsets at Motorola he then joined kite as a senior technologist and progressed his career to his current role Satish and his team have been responsible for driving a software Centric transformation of hp's Legacy heartware business key sites established a software design center in Tech Square a decision the company made in part because of the talent coming out of the College of Engineering and specifically ECE ke said also collaborated with Professor tashar Krishna and the Shakra working group under mlc Commons for AIML work workload emulation this marks the 10th anniversary of kight's $120 million in kind donation of its software to Georgia Tech which we use to help students become industry ready Engineers students use the same instruments and software used by customers in government and in Industry sati's life story is the American dream he immigrated from India after his undergrad degree with a few thousand in his pocket he earned an Executive Education degree at Warden School of Business and now runs one of the biggest technology companies in the world sharing that story he says is an obligation please welcome from Key site's headquarters in Santa Rosa California a great partner of the College of Engineering Satish Don shakun thank you than you thank you well it's going to you're right it's going to be tough to follow domini good afternoon and thank you to the dean UHA for and the faculty and staff at Georgia tag it's indeed an honor to be speaking with you all today service and progress progress and service is your Moto and my interactions with the dean were more during the pandemic we had many calls during zoom and I got to see the thoughtfulness with which he progressed Academia and research through a service attitude and this institution I know lives this Moto every single day but I want to start today with a number we're all Engineers right we like numbers a quarter million okay quarter million Dean that's not the donation I'm about to announce okay don't get your hopes up a quarter million some of you are thinking wouldn't that be a nice starting pay right I know I agree it would be really nice but we're talking about something even more precious it's time you've spent on average I believe at least quarter million minutes to get to the stage today right quite an investment when you then consider the quality of learning rigor and research and interdisciplinary Pursuits that I just heard is is sort of the mainstream of Georgia Tech life so now I'm going to take a few more minutes to congratulate you all and put an exclamation point on this defining chapter of your life each of you is launching your career at a time well let me go off script here at a time when Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets beat my album matter Florida State okay in football by the way and University of Miami and gave the Run for the money for the Georgia Bulldogs okay so this tells you engers can apply them if applys can almost do anything including playing football okay and I did check the roster had some Engineers not just business majors all right so each of you is launching your career at a time when technology is at the Forefront of great societal Transformations and solutions it is your generation that is tasked with finding purposeful applications for artificial intelligence solutions for climate change breakthroughs in healthcare and new ways to push the limits of human exploration the future of engineering is about designing systems of systems and from my work with many gr Georgia Tech alumni at keyside I know you have the skills and more importantly the mindset needed for this human first approach which is encapsulated in your moto progress and service and as we heard today I'm even proud that Engineers are a force of great good and our agents of change after receiving this invitation from Dr Bea I thought long and hard about what to share with you today I'll tell you what I'm not going to do I'm not going to attempt to give you some formula for Success this is something I know each of you are going to discover for yourselves instead I intend to share a few stories from my life going back to the time when I was at the same fork in the road that you are all in today okay same folk in the road that you're all in today sitting in that seat this is what I'm going to tell you three stories and hopefully some of you can relate to them and then go on celebrating of course we talked about the wine and all this stuff is coming your way the first story starts at a wedding I was 23 years old not my wedding okay I was 23 years old I just finished my undergrad and I was gainfully employed living with my parents and my cousin SAA was getting married I was really not the type that loved attending weddings so if my wife is listening accept our wedding honey okay I was dreading it what I did not know was this wedding was actually a setup you see at a time I was working selling silicon Graphics computers for an Enterprise software company in India I thought it was my dream job and I was going to progress my career from there but my mother had bigger plans for me she bought me to this wedding with the intention of getting my cousin to convince me to pursue higher education you see my mother thought my cousin was an engineer in the United States and it might be beneficial for me to get a glimpse of his life so he gave me his Spiel and encouraged me to take gr and apply to colleges in the United States a few days later I drove 20 miles to get access to a spotty internet connection and went on what is a 1996 version of Google called alter Vista how many of you even know what that is I'm going to look here yeah I think some of you here know what it is it was pretty clunky folks and you can't make this up I recall someone telling me the University of Florida is a really good school you should try to go I did a search for Florida university cuz that's all I remember so you can't make this up it wasn't until 18 months later when I got to the United States I realized i' had applied and gotten admitted to a school 150 miles away from the one I originally intended to apply to so I composed myself and realized rather than applying to University of Florida which is known for its engineering program I ended up at Florida State University a school known for for football at that time ending up at Florida State University may have happened due to a lack of unusual due to a set of unusual circumstances that included lack of Technology internet access and also lack of attention to detail on my an but it clearly ended up giving me one of my most profound experiences of my life on top of getting to learn engineering I got to learn how to build great teams you see at that time the coach of the Florida State football team was the legendary Bobby Bowen he was more than a coach he was a great Storyteller a great recruiter and a great guide on how to be a decent human being I spent time there watching practice sessions and listening to him speak and there got a vision for what it takes to build great franchises that stood the test of time Florida state was also where I was introduced to radio frequency and microwave engineering the foundational technologies that became foundational for my career today so here is the bottom line if it wasn't for my mom seeing a bigger path for me if it wasn't for my cousin encouraging me if it wasn't for me ending up in a University known more for football than for engineering I never would have learned the fundamentals that led me to this improbable path of becoming a CEO of a large multi-billion dollar company yes everybody get this that's it so this this is sort of my life story and my takeaway is sometimes accidents or gifts that only get uncovered in time okay if you really think about the cies of events now that brought you here today I'm sure many of you will find that your path here was much less deterministic then it would appear on the surface now we're in front of Engineers so I got to geek a little bit so I'll say putting it in engineering lingo as much as we all want life to be a linear equation it has a way of projecting into random processes okay how many of you took statistics class okay so you all know I also hope that when you look back at how you got here you realize how much help you've had along the way no one makes it alone it is important that you hold the space for deep gratitude for your your parents your friends your families your mentors and those in your world who encouraged you to just go try just go try my second story here begins right after college right after graduation how many of you know where you're going to go to a job research a show of hands okay almost everybody in the year 2000 after graduating I was relieved to receive multiple job offers I ended up taking my first job at morola I was hired as a design engineer I was excited to finally make my mark however reality hit the door hit the second I walked into the door it seems that they had hired more people than they had real estate for so in this big building I did not have an office space or even a m or a or a formal cubicle instead they had thrown together a makeshift space for me with a chair and a desk in the corner by the fire extinguisher if you watched office space I had that moment quite the welcome my disappointment was to be further compounded when I learned that my first job would be to solder some coaxial cables onto a printed circuit board needless to say I wasn't very happy I had just spent days and nights studying to get my graduate degree with the dream of working on complex designs and here I am now with this task of soldering cables on a on a board so I gathered some strength and agency after a week to walk up to my boss Larry and I said hey Larry I really appreciate you giving me all this work but I would really like to know when I can jump on more engineering tasks since I clearly did not know at that time time how to read a room I then showed him my resume and proceeded to try to impress him on how I could take on more upgraded tasks so in the middle of this emotional pitch he stopped me and he said Satish how can I trust you to do all of that if I cannot trust you to get the job done so that's what I learned soldering cables is to get the job done which leads you to better jobs and building trust with wherever you are so I learned it can be quite easy sometimes to get excited when you're working on something important something consequential where you know there's going to be a limelight at the end but it's important to remain engaged and always activated you simply can't navigate Life by attempting to calculate return on investment or Roi of each effort that you're putting in and only putting in discretionary effort on those that have a higher probability of immediate return and this is just as true for work as it is for your personal relationships a friend of mine recently summarized this for me by saying always remember to give more than you take always remember to give more than you take okay One More Story to go my final story is about a tailor this isn't my own story but it's one I heard from my late professor Dr Raj aora at Florida State University as a young man he got accepted to the Queens College in the UK to pursue his PhD to make sure he was looking his best his Grandpa took him to a local tailor to get his suit stitched now you got to imagine this is 1940s and 50s perhaps people were still doing that so when he got to the tailor the old man was working there just took a look at him and said come back in a few days well my professor being young impetuous didn't particularly like this he was nervous about getting his suits on time so he insisted that the Taylor cut to the chase actually take the measurements and get it right but despite this insistence the tayor refused and told him come back in 2 days so the professor left the Taylor in a huff saying this is such a waste of time and two days later he went back to the Taylor tried a suit on and to his surprise it fit perfectly no tweaks were needed puzzled the professor asked the Taylor how did you do all this without any measurement very calmly the Taylor looked him up and said son I have been doing this for 30 years if after doing something for 30 years I still need a measuring tape what the hell did I do in my life what the hell did I do in my life that was a profound statement and I found this Taylor's lesson not just about getting the job done or getting paid or getting into the Limelight it was all about developing judgment and instincts Mastery is is developed by showing up putting in the effort and committing to learning from each experience over time the more you invest in your craft the less you will need external validation and our metrics to guide you instead you will develop an inner compass and intuition that allows you to navigate with Clarity and confidence that is the true gift of Mastery an ability to trust yourself because of the work you've already done to develop judgment and instincts some of you may be left reflecting some of you may be left reflecting if you have your own formative stories like this and the reality is we have them all the time it's happening to us in many cases it also comes for free just for living and these stories are out there in abundance I know we all live in an era of information overload and social media so I'm going to attempt to condense this into the 90c sound bites okay so if you've been not paying attention checking your smartphones taking selfies just listen to these 90 seconds and you're good all right so here is my attempt to do that for you in the randomness of Life each of us have events happening around us happening to us and things were causing to happen around us got it three things the three stories reflect such instances that were formative for me because they offered me the raw material for growth for a future path that I didn't know existed gratitude for the people and circumstances in life that simply motivate you to just try developing a consistent attitude of giving more than you take under all circumstances sometimes hiding your Roi calculator third pursuing Mastery enables you to develop your own internal compass that comes from building a combination of judgment and instincts through your commitment to learning and so this is your super power like I said there's a lot of events happening around you and a lot of these stories mushrooming so here is your real superpower this comes from your ability to listen to these signals around you and they just come for living so you have these signals listen picking the ones that move you and use those learnings to channel your Pursuits okay so in today's AI parland you would be just training your own chat GPT all right training your own chat GPT so over time the compounding effects of these everyday Stories the intentional choices creates exponential growth and outcomes that are not always predictable this is true I found true for myself so as I end my speech it's also important for each of you today to take a pause soak this all in and as Natasha Benfield sings in the song Unwritten you need to feel the rain on your skin no one else can feel it for you okay you need to feel the rain on your skin no one else can feel it for you congratulations on your accomplishment and all the best for an exciting journey ahead thank [Applause] you all right thank you Satish for your time uh for those uh wonderful words of wisdom from life and and uh career guidance uh and also want to just thank um you for all that key site has has done for Georgia Tech and also our city of Atlanta we look forward to the next chapters and our continued partnership and the $250 million investment all right that's great great and now it is time for what you and your families have waited for this morning's institute-wide ceremony confer your degrees now is when you are individually recognized for all that you've done here at geia Tech Once you walk across the stage please return to your seats for the rest of the ceremony we ask that you stay for the duration and given those who walk after you the same courtesy they provided you associate Dean and civil engineer Dr Kim Curtis will lead us through the remainder of the commencement thank you Raheem and congratulations [Applause] graduates so in our Institute wide ceremonies Georgia Tech's tradition has been to call graduates to stage in reverse order of when their college was established because engineering was the first college at Tech our students always graduate last when all the colleges are together uh but today we're going to carry on that tradition having our graduates called according to their school or Department with the most recently established program going first which brings up Alysa Panic the Wallace H culture chair of the culture Department of biomedical engineering to lead us off on behalf of all of the faculty and staff in cter BME a huge congratulations to our newest Lums you all should be and we are very proud of your accomplishments my wish to you is going forward you continue to accomplish things that make you proud congratulations
