As you complete your classes and projects for spring 2025, I want you to know how proud I am of your hard work. We recently announced the 2025 Graduate School Awards, where I learned more about the incredible research happening across the University. We also named four Empower Your Pitch winners earlier this month. I am continuously impressed with the creativity and research of our students!
Sincerely,
