The ceremony included laughter, tears and applause from students, friends and family - and an unexpected twist for many from the Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering David C. Munson Jr.</p> <p>“As many know, we offer alternatives to the traditional handshake here at Michigan Engineering. Fist bumps, hugs, high fives and yes, even chest bumps, are acceptable,” said Munson during the ceremony.</p> <p>“Just remember, I’m old. I’m very, very old,” he added, laughing.</p> <p>True to his word, the dean delivered dozens of chest bumps, as well as taking “selfies” (self-portraits with students via mobile devices), doing the do-si-do and even receiving a Hawain lei from one student. Students and families unaccustomed to the Dean’s friendliness were ecstatic about the performance, and conversations on Twitter using the <a class="external-link" href="https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=umcoe13&src=typd" target="_blank">#UMCOE13</a> hashtag showed their surprise.</p> <p>Tweeted Maruping Mangwedi ‏(@Maru_123): “The Dean of the School of Engineering at the University of Michigan, David Munson Jr, is so very cool <a class="external-link" href="https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=umcoe13&src=typd" target="_blank">#UMCOE13</a>.”</p>
