Congratulations! It is indeed a joyous moment for all of you after passing through many twists and turns along your academic path over the last four years. Your journey was not the same as the ones experienced by the preceding cohorts of graduates. Your stay at St. Mary’s has been marked by memorable moments, which, of course, were shared by all other students in the country at the time. It was during your first year that the scourge of COVID pandemic created havoc globally making learning centers closed for nearly a year, including those in Ethiopia.
