WORCESTER — Alex Beaudoin of Lewiston, Maine, received a degree at Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s May 13 commencement, when more than 1,000 bachelor’s degrees were awarded.
Beaudoin was awarded a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering, with distinction.
This year’s undergraduate address was given by Rodney Brooks, chairman and chief technology officer of Rethink Robotics. He urged students “to focus on three nouns: compassion, contribution, and community” as they chart their course through life, and to be open to the ability of others to enrich their lives in unexpected ways. He asked students to always look for ways to contribute and to maintain their WPI community connections while also continually building new communities through their work and other interests. “Don’t scrimp on community,” he said.
