It's finals week--and commencement is almost here!

One of our grads, Somi Shin, is headed out already this week for her brand-new job, so she will miss graduation. When our department chair Jennifer Holberg heard that, she put on her regalia and had a pop-up ceremony (complete with a gown for Somi from our department's closet of regalia) to celebrate!

Congrats, Somi! And congrats to all our 2026 graduates! We can't wait to celebrate with you on Saturday. 🥳🥳🥳
