With honors

UM-Dearborn recognized five students as Chancellor's Medallion recipients for academic achievement, quality of character, vitality, intellect and integrity.

Now what?

Faculty and staff alumni share advice for the newly minted graduates—things they wished they would have known right after their UM-Dearborn commencement ceremony and what they’ve learned along their journey.

Class of 2015: Zach Tasky

Zach Tasky used every excuse in the book to not earn his college degree. But when life experiences gave him a second chance at finding fulfillment and making a difference in others' lives, he decided to take a chance on education. Tasky walked across the stage yesterday, fulfilling a life goal nearly 20 years in the making.

Class of 2015: Alex Sibo

A career in English wasn't always in the cards for Alex Sibo; after all, he failed middle school English—twice. But the recent grad will make his way to Penn State this fall, where he accepted a fully funded offer into the university's English master's/Ph.D. program. What's behind the turnaround? Sibo said credit goes to the teachers who inspired him.

Class of 2015: Angela Chen

Angela Chen has never been one to run away from a problem. In fact, her passion is solving them. The software engineering and CIS-math dual degree recipient plans to apply her experiences to study human-computer interactions.
