MESSAGE FROM DEAN LAFERLA
Dear Class of 2024,
I am honored to congratulate all of you on receiving your undergraduate or master’s degree on this momentous day. Earning a degree in biology is challenging under the best of circumstances, but with the challenge of a global pandemic and remote learning, your achievement these past few years is even more special. On behalf of the faculty and staff of the UC Irvine School of Biological Sciences, I am very proud of you and your accomplishments.
As you know, our school’s foundational them is MIND|BODY|WORLD. The COVID-19 global pandemic and the foreboding impact of climate change have illustrated just how connected life is. The world depends on biologists like us to find solutions to coronaviruses and the climate crisis, as well as any future threats. Pursuing studies in the biological sciences is tough but has never mattered more.
The late founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, said, “I think the biggest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection of biology and technology. A new era is beginning.” Today, that “new era” is a reality. And you are now among the fortunate few who possess important comprehension of science and technology. I know you will use this knowledge to do good, rewarding work in your future profession. You are the game-changers for our planet.
I hope you will always remember your time at UCI with fondness and remain in close contact with the school.
Best wishes,
Frank M. LaFerla, PhD
