Congratulations to all Doctoral, Master and Baccalaureate candidates from December 2023, May 2024 and August 2024.
Completing the requirements for a university degree involves commitment, perseverance, sacrifice and talent. As you apply your university experiences to your daily living and to your career, we invite you to be an advocate for education in the sciences and for lifelong learning. We look forward to your support of and involvement in the School of Science as you become an active alumna/alumnus.
Take time to reflect proudly on this achievement and what it means for you and your family. You now join a distinguished group of Science alumni, many of whom have gone on to hold important roles in industry, research, education, the medical professions and national government.
You may not realize this, but you have an established legacy at the School of Science. Over the last several years, we've seen substantial growth in student involvement, student leadership and student success. What you have accomplished will have an impact on the young scientists who follow in your footsteps. The impact you have on the School of Science doesn't end with graduation. As alumni, you can help shape the direction of the School and the future of our students. Someday soon you may be able to help a science student advance their education or career. So when you are in a position to hire, volunteer or donate, please keep the School of Science in mind.
