On May 16, under sunny skies, 175 undergraduate and graduate students in CETA received their diplomas. In addition, various honors were awarded to graduating students.
Among the highlights, Neftali Torres, a Civil Engineering major, received the John G. Lee Medal from the University. This medal is presented to a graduating student from the Greater Hartford region who has excelled academically and demonstrated a deep commitment to the community. You can read about his accomplishments in this post on the CETABlog.
At CETA’s diploma ceremony, the recipients of this year’s Tai Soo Kim Architecture Traveling Fellowship were recognized. Carolina Calle, Brenda Eaton, and Michelle Harrigan Miller received the fellowship, which will allow them to travel in the United States and study the formation of community. This award supports the independent travel and inquiry of a University of Hartford Master of Architecture graduate each year. This year, for the first time, a collaborative project has been awarded the fellowship.
Finally, Dr. Chittaranjan Sahay awarded the Dr. Girija Sahay and Ahilya Devi Award for Academic Excellence to Matthew Nilsen, a Mechanical Engineering major who graduated summa cum laude.
In an email to faculty and staff who worked on and participated in the ceremonies yesterday, Dr. Ladimer Nagurney, CETA’s chief marshal said, “On behalf of our graduating students, I would like to thank each and every one of you for making their graduation yesterday special. The weather could not have been better and the ceremony went flawlessly.”
CETA congratulates all the graduating students and hopes that they will share their success stories with us.
