Even though many of the class of 2020 and 2021 graduation ceremonies were hijacked due to the #covid-19 pandemic, there are plenty of ways we can still celebrate these graduates and honor their rite of passage.

Congratulations to all of our IEEE Houston Section #students Branch Members who graduated and are graduating. Its been a hard year for a lot of our IEEE colleget students. We would like to leave you with a few inspirational quotes to reflect on:
– “You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.” — Mahatma Ghandi

– “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, dream, discover.” – Mark Twain
