Sitting at the freshman convocation over the weekend, I was delighted to see so many enthusiastic students. We hear it over and over again, and many of us have become jaded, but what you achieve at RPI is only limited by your ambition. Everyone at Rensselaer contributes his own personality to our community, and without that diversity, we wouldn’t have such an interesting place to attend school. I’d like to end with an anonymous quote: “Always remember you’re unique … just like everyone else.”
