The commencement festivities are in full swing at Florida State University, and we're celebrating our grads! 🎓

Philip Quattrochi will cross the stage on Friday evening to receive his bachelor's degree in computer science (FSU Department of Computer Science), and as part of FSU Air Force ROTC Det 145, he'll also be commissioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force.

"FSU provided me with the opportunity to do anything I've ever wanted professionally. I was able to grow as a leader, receive a helicopter training slot, and learn more about my passion for computer science all at once."

As one of 28 cadets nationwide selected for the Helicopter Training Next program, Quattrochi will soon begin training at Fort Rucker in Alabama to pilot Combat Search and Rescue missions.
