COMMENCEMENT
2021
On behalf of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, and as
a proud alumnus of the U of I System, I am honored to bring
greetings and congratulations to the Class of 2021!
You have been through so much to reach today’s milestone, juggling
your studies with the historic challenges of a global pandemic. In
the process, you have done even more than achieve your dreams.
You have also helped make our universities among the safest in our
nation—a model for our peers—and I am deeply grateful for your
understanding, your cooperation, and your sacrifice.
Although it has been a few years since I was in the seat you are
in today, I still remember the mix of excitement and anxiety I felt,
not knowing exactly what the future might hold. That feeling is
understandable. But rest assured that the world-class education

of Trustees
As you head off to make your mark on the world, know you
carry a bond that forever connects you to your years on this
remarkable campus. You are joining one of the world’s largest
alumni networks—nearly 800,000 strong from across the U of
I System’s three, best-in-class universities. As our alumni have
since our founding over 150 years ago, I hope you will carry
our flag with pride. Your successes will carry us forward, adding
to our global reputation for excellence and attracting the new
generations of students who want to follow in your footsteps.
I hope you will come back to campus often—to share your
achievements, your experiences, and your insights. And as you are
out there changing and improving society, the entire world over,
know that all of us you have left behind will be working for you,
ensuring that the value and prestige of the degree you worked so
hard to earn continues to grow.
Congratulations again, Class of 2021!
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO | 2021 COMMENCEMENT 3
Congratulations, Class of 2021!
College years are always a lifetime memory. But yours are literally
historic, a time that your children, grandchildren, and great-
grandchildren will learn about during their own educational journeys.
You earned your degrees amid the worst pandemic in a century
and the myriad worries, stresses, and restrictions it created. A
bulk of classes moved online. Attending in-person classes added
COVID-19 testing to your weekly schedules. Traditional campus
activities were limited, even simple pleasures like time with friends.
Still, you achieved your dreams and so much more. You also helped
make the University of Illinois System a model for the nation as our
Timothy L. Killeen three campuses remained safe and many classrooms remained
President open this year while peer universities struggled. It is a success story
that made headlines across the country, thanks to a pioneering
homegrown testing protocol and your understanding, cooperation,
resilience, selflessness, and sacrifice.
Those same qualities will also carry you far in the next chapter of
your life that begins tomorrow. And, coupled with the talents and
civic-minded spirit you nurtured here at UIC, you are primed to
flourish.
But first things first. Take some time today to reflect on
everything you’ve accomplished and the tremendous milestone
you have reached. There are a small handful of days in life that
you will never forget. From my own experience and the beaming
faces I have seen at nearly 40 years of commencements, I can
tell you that your graduation is one of them. So I hope you savor
every minute of it.
Congratulations again, Class of 2021! It is an honor to celebrate
you, joined by the proud family and friends who have supported
you along the way.
I hope the lessons you learned exceed the high expectations that
brought you here and guide you to the future you imagined.
Enjoy your day and come back often.
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CHICAGO | 2021 COMMENCEMENT
Dear 2021 Graduates:
Each year, I had the honor to write a letter to our graduates
that was printed in the commencement ceremony program,
congratulating them on their success in meeting the demands of
their academic careers at the University of Illinois Chicago. Every
year, the programs were placed on the grduates’ seats, waiting for
them as they gathered with their guests to witness the university
formally recognize their accomplishments and confer their degrees.
This year, you and your guests are receiving this letter
elelctronically because the public health restrictions in Chicago
do not allow us to celebrate together. But while the COVID-19
pandemic has changed nearly everything in our lives, it has not
Michael D. Amiridis changed what you have achieved over the course of your studies
Chancellor at UIC! This important day in your lives rises above the conditions
that are keeping you away from our campus and will always be a
testament to your perseverance and accoplishments.
You have successfully reached the end of this stage of your
academic journey. You have been challenged to reach your
highest potential, even in the face of an unprecedented health
crisis, and you have succeeded. You are now UIC alumni and the
next generation of UIC ambassadors. I assure you that the entire
university community shares my great pride in your hard work and
the sacrifices you have made to reach this point.
I have every confidence that your future accomplishments will
make a difference in people’s lives. This is the UIC legacy, and you
now are part of it.
Congratulations Class of 2021!
