Congratulations to new Doctorates

Dear new Doctors at NMBU!

Thank you for all your hard work. For all the endless hours at the lab. For all the thinking, reading, writing, calculating and testing.

Thank you for all the long nights and early mornings you’ve spent with your computer. For enduring solitude, insecurity, disappintment and doubt.

Thank you for hanging in tough. For standing tall in difficult discussions, for being patient, for never giving up.

Today you can say: You made it. I hope you are proud of yourselves. Know that we are.

We look forward to celebrating you and your big achievement!

Best regards,
Siri Fjelheim
