| Dear Graduate School Community,
As we approach the end of the academic year, I want to take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the achievements of our scholars. The Graduate School hosted its inaugural Honors Banquet on March 31 where we honored students, faculty, and staff who have excelled academically, as well as those who have made significant contributions to our community through their mentorship. Congratulations to all who were honored.
We recently celebrated Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week and I enjoyed seeing many of you at the events. I hope that you all enjoyed the opportunity to connect and celebrate together.
Our next opportunity to come together as a community is just around the corner. Commencement will be held on May 12. This a time to officially mark the completion of an academic journey, and to celebrate all that has been accomplished. I encourage you to visit the Commencement website for important information for all the planned events.
These special events mark both the conclusion of one chapter and the beginning of another. I could not be prouder of the achievements that each of you has made this year.
Best,
