Honoring their academic journey and personal growth. With the theme, “Empowered Graduands, Emerging Leaders: Shaping Smarter, Stronger Tomorrow,” the event brought together faculty and students to recognize the accomplishments of the graduating class, many of whom have overcome great challenges to reach this significant milestone.
