Looks like we made it! Happy commencement to our @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social PhD graduates. The journey was long, but well worth it. We loved that you took us along for the ride at UC Berkeley, but now we're excited to see where you begin the adventure!
We caught up with our master’s keynote speaker, Sandra Rivera, who chairs the board of VSORA. Or as our Dean Mark Asta noted: a “tech leader and entrepreneur and occasional llama herder.” 💙💛🎓 #BEGrad26
Congratulations to our UC Berkeley @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social and Civil and Environmental Engineering MS and MEng Transportation students! We hope you enjoyed your time here and we look forward to your next chapter. Congratulations on your commencement today!
We caught up with @NASA astronaut Warren “Woody” Hoburg (M.S.’11, Ph.D.’13 EECS) ahead of his keynote speech at our baccalaureate commencement! He had some words of advice for our new grads — and our first aerospace engineering cohort in particular. 🚀
Congratulations to ITS Outstanding Undergraduate Student of the Year @berkeleyengineer.bsky.social EECS Delbert Tran and Outstanding PhD Students of the Year DCRP Michael Montilla and CEE Zhe Fu! its.berkeley.edu/news/its-nam...
