Dear Graduates,

Milestones mark the completion of stages in a person’s life. For the graduates here today, this particular milestone signals the culmination of the years spent in the pursuit of learning. A new door will open for them as they leave behind the confines of their old academic life and start a new chapter in their studies.

I am proud of you for being part of the newest batch of STI graduates. However, you would not be where you are now were it not for the support of people who have become a part of your life. Your parents and teachers were instrumental in giving you an education. Amidst a challenging environment, they have counselled you to make the right choices and have taught you the values that will guide you through your lifetime.

We are moving towards a future where innovations in technology become indispensable to daily living. I am confident that what we have taught you at STI will help you overcome the challenges of real life. I believe that the successes that you will achieve in the future will ultimately benefit not only yourselves but our country as well.

Have faith and confidence in your abilities. Go out into the world knowing that you can make a difference.

Congratulations, Graduates of 2016!

Monico V. Jacob
President and Chief Executive Officer
