Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science celebrated the graduation of its accomplished master's and PhD students on Saturday, December 10.
Held in the Technological Institute's Ryan Auditorium, the event marked the third time Northwestern Engineering has conducted a ceremony for its December graduates, recognizing 212 master's students and 9 PhD students.
"Both our PhD and master's students play a critical role at McCormick," said
Dean Julio M. Ottino. "As graduate students, you not only challenged yourself to learn new things and create new knowledge, but you served as role models and mentors for other graduate students and our undergraduate students. You connected with colleagues across departments and schools, and you enriched many of our programs by bringing your unique perspectives."
Twenty students graduated from the MEM program during August (1) and December (19), with six participating in the December Commencement event. Of the twenty graduates, seven were part-time, thirteen were full-time, and represented the countries of Chile, China, India, Taiwan, and the US. Students also earned concentrations in Project & Process Management (6) and Managerial Analytics (7).
Our recent graduates join the MEM alumni community consisting of over 800 proud WildCats . We ask all of our alumni to keep their contact information current in the "
Our Northwestern" alumni community network.
Congratulations to our graduates!!!!
