The ceremony, which was held in the Hope Community Church auditorium, conferred 185 degrees, and was witnessed by more than 1,200 relatives and guests.

"We are honored to have Donald Thompson Jr. deliver the keynote at our Spring 2012 Diploma Ceremony," says Ken Tate, Director of Development and External Relations for NC State's Computer Science Department, "Under Donald's leadership, I-Cubed has been a valued ePartner with our department for many years providing our students with valuable project and career opportunities."

Thompson told the graduates, "when you are in the technology field, your direction is only shaped by what you envision needs to be created."

"Finding a mentor is the number one thing that I attribute to any success that I have had as a business leader," Thompson added. "I am very grateful to Grant Willard, I-Cubed Founder and former CEO, for the guidance and direction he has provided me in my career. I am confident that I would not be where I am today without his mentorship. I encourage you to surround yourselves with people, both professional and personal, that care enough to tell you what you need to work on, and cheer for what you have done well."
