This month we celebrated our graduates, and it was a privilege to congratulate them as they crossed the stage at Littlejohn Coliseum to receive their diplomas. The ceremony stood as a testament not only to their commitment and hard work but also to the family members, faculty and staff who taught, supported and encouraged them along the way. My heartfelt congratulations and gratitude go out to our graduates and all who helped make this milestone possible.

The momentum in our college continues well beyond commencement. This month we honored several trailblazing alumni who are making a positive impact on their industries and communities through leadership, innovation and service. Our students are following in their footsteps, working in areas ranging from artificial intelligence to automotive engineering. They are guided by faculty who remain focused on real-world challenges, such as finding sustainable, cost-effective solutions to environmental pollution. We are also strengthening academic leadership to support continued progress in research, education and service.

At the heart of this work is collaboration. We are building stronger connections with industry, alumni and other partners to accelerate innovation and expand opportunities for our students in fields such as AI.

Sincerely,
Anand K. Gramopadhye, Dean
