Class of 2022 awards ceremony

• 2:40 p.m., Bruno Gruselle's opening remarks, inspired by what the students had to say about their time at the school: 
  "High quality courses(…) for what purpose? To train engineers. Because being an engineer means wanting to change the world, shape and transform matter, (…) take a central place in order to contribute actively to solving [crisis situations] (…) and commit yourself with determination to protect and defend, and make democracy triumph over autocracy, peace over war and freedom over servitude. (…) means choosing to enlighten Humanity and work towards the ideals of Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, Sophie Germain or Albert Einstein. These are ideals that make us better human beings and which should be embraced for the rest of your lives."
