The iSchool congratulates summer 2015 graduates!
07/24/2015
The University of Pittsburgh’s School of Information Sciences (iSchool) celebrates our 2015 summer graduates! At the iSchool’s summer recognition ceremony on Friday, July 24, more than 150 family, friends, and supporters joined graduates at the O’Hara Student Center for the ceremony led by Dean Ronald L. Larsen.
Larsen charged graduates to remember the challenging lessons learned during their time at the iSchool and asked them to apply their own sense of creativity to the knowledge they developed in order to “envision a better future and to work toward its realization.” He also reminded students and faculty of their many personal, professional, and departmental accomplishments to be proud of over the past year. He concluded with an invitation to graduating students to stay in contact with the iSchool through the Alumni Association in order to share future achievements and growth.
Following the introduction, Larsen, along with department chairs and faculty colleagues presented students from each program with their degrees. Wesley Lipschultz, Director of Student Services, welcomed and invited recent graduates to engage with the iSchool alumni community, which boasts nearly 14,000 members and is active in a number of events throughout the year.
The recently graduated students joined faculty, staff, and loved ones in the second floor ballroom for light refreshments after the ceremony. Congratulations and best wishes iSchool graduates!
