[00:00:05.130]Happy graduation.
[00:00:07.000]You've all worked so hard to get here,
[00:00:08.810]and should be incredibly proud of all you've accomplished.
[00:00:11.970]As you begin the next chapter,
[00:00:13.890]I encourage you to channel your talents and skills,
[00:00:16.820]and all you've learned
[00:00:17.810]about the power and possibility of design
[00:00:20.290]to create positive change in the places you live.
[00:00:23.310]Be compassionate, informed, and most importantly, engaged.
[00:00:27.680]There's a saying, "You can't understand
[00:00:29.930]most of the important things from a distance.
[00:00:32.290]You have to get close."
[00:00:34.160]So wherever your next path takes you,
[00:00:36.500]I encourage you to take root
[00:00:38.170]and become active members of the community
[00:00:40.080]in which you design.
[00:00:41.740]Congratulations to all of you, and good luck.
[00:00:45.820]Congratulation, class of '21, you've made it.
[00:00:48.260]This has been a crazy year to complete your education,
[00:00:50.700]but if you're anything like me,
[00:00:52.540]your friends have gotten you through it, even over Zoom.
[00:00:55.780]Be sure to carry the relationship you made
[00:00:57.896](indistinct) now with you into the professional world.
[00:01:00.230]They are invaluable.
[00:01:01.890]I look forward to seeing you as colleagues soon.
[00:01:04.700]You're ready, you got this, congratulations.
[00:01:09.150]Hello and congratulations class of 2021.
[00:01:12.880]My name is Kendra Heimes and I'm an architect
[00:01:14.800]at Kieran Timberlake in Philadelphia.
[00:01:17.310]If I have one piece of advice, it's to remember
[00:01:19.920]that our only constant as designers is change.
[00:01:23.670]So embrace it.
[00:01:25.560]As you take your next steps,
[00:01:27.050]remember that technologies will forever evolve,
[00:01:30.050]building practices will constantly modify,
[00:01:32.470]and forever more complex challenges
[00:01:34.330]will loom on the horizon.
[00:01:36.340]It's important to remember
[00:01:37.640]that the timeless skill sets you've acquired and honed,
[00:01:40.240]during your education, will be the constant source
[00:01:43.160]of creativity and problem-solving.
[00:01:45.850]Inquiry and empathy will persevere
[00:01:48.440]through the changes we face,
[00:01:49.810]as we forever address tomorrow's problems.
[00:01:52.790]So congratulations, (upbeat music)
[00:01:54.870]take a moment to be proud of how far you have come,
[00:01:58.010]and never lose your sense of victory.
