Abstract
In June 2019, two years back, I formally welcomed you to the MICA campus though it seems like just yesterday. I am
sure you would be fondly reminiscing your Orientation weeks filled with, apart from industry leader sessions,
activities such as yoga, meditation, heritage walks, musical and literary nights, movie screenings, and a lot more. That, I guess, set the tone for what we call the MICA experience! Looking back, I enjoyed the opportunity to have lunch with you in the dining hall and talk about everything under the sun, both academic and non-academic. Many of you also accepted my invitation to join me in smaller groups for stimulating discussions.
Today, it gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction to see how much you have grown in these past two years
as committed and responsible MICAns, taking the lead in various issues. The pandemic was one of the most
demanding challenges humanity has faced, and you displayed great courage and strength to stand up against
it. It was not easy for any of us, especially you, as it uprooted your life at MICA.
I saw you grapple with myriad setbacks ranging from cancellation of internships, a sudden departure from the
campus, moving to online classes with a new structure, and worries over placements. I can openly acknowledge
that the way you overcame and coped with all of them makes you a more resilient and triumphant batch than
any other batch at MICA, including those before and after you.
Thankfully, the situation on the ground improved, and most of you were able to return to our beautiful MICA
campus; and I am sure before you graduate, you will be all together as a batch, just like you were in June 2019.
I am confident that as you embark on your new careers, the learnings that you gained from MICA, both in classes
and outside, will stand you in good stead. Keep in touch with your batch mates, with your professors, and with MICA. We look forward to welcoming you to MICA in the coming years as its illustrious alum, with a great deal of affection and fondness. Stay safe. Stay secure. Stay strong.
