Dear Graduates, I am honoured to be here today to celebrate this momentous occasion with you and offer my warmest congratulations. As you embark on this new chapter in your lives, I want to take a moment to reflect on the role of technology in your journey. The pace of technological change is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Just a few decades ago, we were using typewriters and rotary phones. Today, we have smartphones, tablets, and laptops that give us access to an unprecedented amount of information and communication. This rapid change has had a profound impact on our lives. It has changed the way we work, learn, and communicate. It has also made the world a smaller place. We can now stay in touch with friends and family who live far away, and we can learn about different cultures and perspectives with just a few clicks of a button. In your time here, you've not only acquired academic knowledge but have also navigated an era of rapid technological evolution. The tools and innovations that have become integral to your education have also transformed the way we learn, collaborate, and engage with the world. Embracing technology has been more than adopting the latest gadgets; it's been about harnessing the power of innovation to enhance your educational experience. From virtual classrooms to collaborative online platforms, you've been at the forefront of a digital revolution that has redefined the landscape of education. As you step into the next phase of your lives, I encourage you to carry forward this spirit of embracing technology. The skills you've developed in this technologically infused environment are not just for the classroom; they are tools that can empower you in your future endeavours. Leverage them to stay connected, to seek new opportunities, and to continue your pursuit of knowledge. The world you are entering is dynamic and interconnected, and technology will be your ally in navigating its complexities. Embrace it with confidence, adaptability, and a commitment to lifelong learning. The proficiency you've gained here is not just a degree; it's a foundation for success in a world where technological literacy is paramount. I am pleased that here at our University of Technology, Jamaica, we have successfully infused technology into all our courses of study, equipping each of you with the skills needed for the professional world. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement! May your journey be filled with continued growth, success, and a seamless integration of technology into the tapestry of your lives. Congratulations, UTech, Jamaica Knights! 9 Mr Lloyd Carney, Bsc, Msc, Hon. DEng.Tech CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE
