Massimo Christopher Pavoni, BS

The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away

Xiaohu Chen, MS

I am filled with immense joy and gratitude as I write this message. I couldn't have made it this far without your love, support, and encouragement, I want to dedicate this achievement to you all - my friends, my girlfriend, my parents, and my fellow cohort EAE C12.

Griffin T Ochar, BS

I would like to thank my parents for supporting me through this journey and for always being there for me. I had a blast here at the U and made many great memories, but I think I am ready to head home to some warmer weather.

Nathan Robert Miller, BS

These past four years have been eye-opening, life-changing, wonderful, fun, and almost every other phrase I can think of. It has been a real pleasure meeting and working with everyone and I couldn't have asked for better people to graduate among. Thanks!

Cameron Joseph Lentz, BS

I've spent way too long thinking of what to write here. Other people's messages will be funnier or more poignant than mine anyway. You know that moment in the game INSIDE, where you need to get a moving panel to shield you from two shockwaves consecutively? That was cool.

Tejas Sunil Kawalkar, MEAE

Dear Friends and Family, I'm thrilled to share that today is my graduation day! It's a momentous occasion that I couldn't have achieved without your unwavering support and encouragement throughout the years. Thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to be my best self.

Chandler Jeffcoat, MEAE

Ian Richens, BS

I wish these days didn't have to end, but time does move on for us all... unless you're Bill Murray I guess but that's more the exception and not the rule.

Cameron M Hoy, BS

I had a ton of fun during my time at the U, and got to meet some amazing people. Thank you for the memories!

Jared Erik Pickett, BS

It's taken me many years to get through this degree, learning who I am and how to learn with ADHD. Thank you everyone for your support and your understanding!

Kaili Yan, BS

This is a place that has seen me grow, and this is not the end but a new beginning. I am grateful to my family and friends who have always supported me and made my life more meaningful.

Ying Ching Chen, MEAE

Everything that happened at the U is like American dessert - too sweet. Love U and see U all <3

Hoyeon Nicholas Na, BS

The sound of the Gion Shoja bells echoes the impermanence of all things; The color of the Sala flowers reveals the truth that the prosperous must decline. However, We are the exception! Grazie mille to my family, friends, loved ones, and others. You know who you are.

Ejaz Ahmed, MEAE

Although I'm sad to say goodbye to this chapter, it is also the next step towards our dreams. I will cherish these memories for the rest of my life. I hope we get to work together again, and even more than that, I wish we meet again at the top of our industry.

Simran Anil Vaidya, MEAE

I will miss EAE a lot! All the good and tough times we went through together as cohort 12 will always be in my memories! Thank you so much!!
