"I consider retirement as a commencement, similar to the one we held yesterday for the students," President Charles M. Vest said in remarks to the annual retirement dinner on June 2. "You are completing one phase of your lives and beginning another," he told some 200 honorees and their guests.
Dr. Vest urged those retiring to consider spending some of their newly available time in volunteer activities, noting that opportunities range from the Cambridge School Volunteer Program to the Alaska Department of Parks. A new program in the Office of Special Community Services maintains a database of volunteer positions in approximately 1,700 nonprofit agencies.
"Don't think that I don't appreciate that you've earned your free time," Dr. Vest said. "I'm only thinking that you represent a skilled and experienced group of people who can contribute much to others. After All, MIT has benefited from your talents for 3,545 years.
"MIT is-at heart-the people who have come together to do the best they can in their chosen fields. Our quality and stature, our teaching and research programs, our sense of community and service-these are your doing.
"MIT is a better place because of you.
"Let me close with a toast: Good health, long life, much joy to you all!"
