What the Class of 2025 wants you to know
What graduating means to you
泭泭I am a proud Pell Grant recipient and the first in my family to earn an undergraduate degree in the U.S. and become an engineer. My parents are immigrants and sacrificed a lot for me. Now its up to me to determine what a better life represents and whether that path keeps me in America or takes me beyond it.

泭泭My graduate school journey at 91勛圖厙 was a memorable experience that ended up teaching me more about myself. I am truly grateful for the resources and support CU offered me, for I know I could not have reached this point alone. As a first-gen student from Yonkers, New York, I never imagined I would have the privilege of getting a masters degree in chemical engineering, let alone from CU. For my family and me, this degree represents making the impossible possible and marks the beginning of a new era in my life.

泭泭When I reflect on what I will miss most about college, I cant help but think about the amazing relationships Ive built throughout my time here. I remember the first time meeting my new roommates...(and) how quickly I realized they would be forever friends of mine. I remember the first warm day in February, lying beside other students on the grassy lawns of campus and soaking up the sun while we were supposed to be in class. I remember my first time attending my professors office hours, nervously talking about my plans for after graduation. I remember that seemed so far away at the time. While many of these relationships are irreplaceable, I know I will carry these lessons in friendship into my post-grad life.

泭泭For students who grew up similarly to me, earning a degree isnt just about completing school, its about uplifting the family that came before you and paving a path for those who come after you. It means becoming a connection for others in your community who might not have access to the same opportunities compared to kids in more privileged positions. It means defying the odds that were stacked against you. When I think about this degree, I think about the people who came before me who werent able to earn theirs, and this is for them. I think about my younger brother and cousins, and this is for them, too. This degree doesnt just belong to me. It belongs to my whole family and my community.

泭泭I cherish the relationships nurtured and cultivated among educators, learners, partners, and with my friends, sister scholars, and mentors. I will keep drawing on how members of these communities show up for one another and support each other for collective growth, learning, and thriving. For the next chapter of my life, I will continue to recognize that learning is not merely the acquisition of knowledge, but an ongoing process of becoming. This philosophy has been inspired and embodied by my advisor, Dr. Joe Polman, whose pedagogy demonstrates that through affirmation of identities, we make space for individuals to grow, transform, and fully embrace who they are and who they are becoming.

Whether it's a job you don't think you're qualified enough for or a new club that covers topics you know nothing about, college is the time to be bold and try new things. From there, doors can open, and your path could change in ways you never thought possible. Even if it doesn't work out the way you thought it might, there is always the possibility of a good experience coming out of it. So, join that club, talk to that stranger, apply to that job and see what happens!

泭泭My best advice for current students and future students has to be to know that you belong. Engineering is challenging, but you are not alone. Seek out mentors, seek community and, most importantly, seek help. Its OK not to know everything. Imposter syndrome is very real, but please remember that your perspective and contributions are beyond valuable. Your journey will have obstacles, but perseverance, resilience and a strong support system will guide you. More than anything, never let self-doubt dictate your potential because you are capable, you are worthy, and you have the power to make a difference.
