And now the moment you've all been waiting
for the presentation of the Class of 2021.

I'm pleased to introduce my colleague Professor
Shobita Parthasarathy, who when she's not

testifying before congress is writing and
teaching about ethics, equity, science and

technology.

And she's going to read the names of our 2021
graduates.

Shobita, take it away.

Thanks, Luke.
