Long, long ago, in a college not so far away...

As a professor who grew up on Star Wars, I always see my students as Padawan learners. The moment I meet them, I see a powerful Jedi that needs to be trained to harness the force within them. That after the graduate, they'll excel in whatever field they choose, and that they will, indeed, bring balance to the force.

Today, we sent off the 78 Padawan learners of Batch 2011-2012. Once again, it was time for the Supreme Jedi Council to convene and give our final words of wisdom to our graduates-to-be.

And since I was head of the event, I naturally chose to carry this Star Wars theme for the send off.



Congratulations, our young Jedi. You'll definitely make the council very proud.
