and then came the enlightening message from L Rafael Reif, President of MIT, who says it better for all of us:
“…Whatever may change in Washington, I believe there is great power in
remembering that it will not change the values and the mission that unite us…
As a community and as a practical force for good, MIT is a quintessential
expression of America at its best: Bold, optimistic and focused on inventing
the future. Delighted and energized by our diversity, with a meritocratic
openness to talent, culture and ideas from anywhere. Humble, pragmatic, crazy
about science and insistent on seeking the facts. A place of rigor, ingenuity
and real-world problem-solving, where generations of bright young minds have
come from every corner of the Earth to make something of themselves and work
together to make a better world…”
L. Rafael Reif, address
to the on-campus MIT community on Nov. 10 2016
We, at the New School Polymer Physics
initiative, endorse the statements by Dr. Reif.
Of course, it’s not simply about MIT, it’s
about all communities driven by a “practical force for good”, all institutions,
all associations of human beings having the courage, the determination and
the passion to fly high to make a better world.
More than ever before, it's now time to fly high and build up dreams that connect everybody. Determination with Humility is Power!
