 Hello, Ron. Get ready to make 22 choices. Analog or digital? Analog. So how shall Ron Burnett's time as president of M.W. Carr be remembered? A bust of Ron carved out of ice, melting away to expose a meaningful message about the campus move. Once the ice melts, there's something that Ron will have on his desk the rest of his life. Out of all of the strengths and skills that exist for us as human beings, the most profound strengths and skills are those of generosity, kindness, inclusion, and love. He's someone who is both endlessly curious and driven to learn. You think about the incredible effort that Ron has put in in feeding the forces of inclusion and starving the forces of exclusion. How many people have been able to get engaged in their life's work, in their art, in their creativity because of Ron's work? Ron, you accomplished something that the world envies. Ron, you have been tenacious to get here. Ron is one of those greats that will never know the full extent of his efforts, his tireless 20-hour days. This campus will be here long after all of us in this room are gone. He uses his great imagination. This whole campus grew from visions in his mind, and then he used his initiative to build a campus truly one of a kind. Celebrate the culture of Emily Carr and invite and make accessible the exhibitions, the programs, the events, the energy, and the innovation that happens daily on campus. That building, it was lost during the Ikea uprisings of 2040 in which you proved yourself to be a valiant warrior in all of the parking lot scrimmishes. Say something wise, share some information, suppose the walls have ears. In response to Marshall McLuhan's The Medium Is The Message, he wrote, the discourse is the message. Ron was asking students to think about the complexity of the creation of discourse that both involves the medium and the message. Thank you so much, Ron. You have emerged as a beloved leader and a dear friend. May you continue to thrive, bathed in the knowledge that you have brought light to a difficult world. Ron, you can let down your hair now. We give you permission to play. Ron, Ron, Ron. You're a hero through and through, and we readily admit we are all in awe of you. Congratulations, Ron. You chose fairly. Fair. Well. Okay, Ron. This is goodbye. Or is it hello? End of message.
