The Woz had this message for computer science and engineering grads: Don’t be afraid to innovate.
The co-founder of Apple Computers, Steve Wozniak, better known as The Woz, was given an honorary doctorate by Concordia University Wednesday morning. In his address to graduates at the Place des Arts’ Salle Wilfrid Pelletier, he said the world needs engineers and computer scientists, because they have the tools to solve many of the world’s problems.
“We have a lot of real problems and the solutions often lie in the minds of engineers; that’s your job now,” Wozniak, 60, said.
