My name is Jack Tanner. I graduated from, in 1983 from Sid Richardson College, uh Rice tradition, which has been the most meaningful to me is uh really good professors teaching in small classes. Uh My daughter is now a senior here and uh I just, I got

00:00:18.729 - 00:00:37.319

a fabulous education and I knew she would too. She, I was not an engineer but she is um traditions or advice uh with the next generation. Um I would say appreciate your time at Rice. Uh It's, it's a fairy land compared to the real world uh

00:00:37.330 - 00:00:52.319

to be surrounded by a peer group. Um I left Rice and went to a very good uh graduate program top 10 in the country and I, um I felt there, I was smarter than most, but at Rice, I felt I was really in my element with

00:00:52.330 - 00:01:06.309

a peer group and it, it doesn't say like this in the real world. So really enjoy it. Your classmates also really enjoy your professors who uh know a whole lot. Uh even things they don't share with you and uh soak up all you can
