Marta Reeve Heinz, BS

To my cohort: I am so grateful that I was welcomed into this department with open arms. I am grateful to my study group for all the late night zoom meetings, moments of despair, and hugs. They always told me engineering was a team sport. Good luck and see you all on LinkedIn!

Kevin Alejandro Ramirez, BS

We are the group of students that struggled and triumphed through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We may have lost loved ones but hopefully we can honor them by walking the podium today. Good luck to all my ChemE classmates and wishing many good fortunes!

Pras Venugopal, BS/MS

It's been amazing completing my education at the U. The only reason I'm standing here is thanks to my supportive family, friends, and professors. They have my endless gratitude from the bottom of my heart.

Mitchell Garrett Nelson, BS

It's hard to believe that I'm finally here in this moment! This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and it will be so hard to say goodbye to the close friendships I've made. I'm never gonna give them up in my heart.
