3 graduates

@aviyne (owns Charlotte (middle)) and I shared a graduating class and major. From this, inspiration sprang. Here are our ladies hugging as they leave uni.

Music comes from Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance, Alfred Reed’s The Golden Year, and James Barnes’s Symphonic Overture.

Commencement 2023

In this post, I’m excited to share some of my photos from commencement! After a bit of a rainy day prior (Saturday), we were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather for commencement itself (Sunday). As shared in my last post, during the Ivy Day ceremony I’d been awarded two engineering awards and had been called up to pick up a special gold tassel and cord for graduating summa cum laude (the highest tier of Latin honors). Given these honors, it had somehow gotten in my head that Ivy Day would be bigger for me than commencement itself as I personally took more pride in these individual honors. Please know that I in no way mean to undermine the accomplishment that is graduating from college, particularly for those who are the first in their families to do so! I’ll be the first to admit that I perhaps took graduating from college a bit for granted as I’ve excelled academically for as long as I can remember, technically had the requisite credits to graduate a year ago, and have two college-educated parents (one who holds a graduate degree from an Ivy League school). This is not to say that college was easy for me as I’ve had to work extremely hard over the last four years. With all of that being said, other than being a bit long commencement was an amazing experience.

Commencement morning began with us lining up (grouped by house and within our house ordered alphabetically by last name). After a long while of waiting, we finally processed into the quad itself. Our commencement speaker was Reshma Saujani who is the founder of Girls Who Code. As a computer science major and future software engineer, I was sort of hoping she’d touch on technology in her speech. In retrospect, it makes sense that she didn’t as Smith is a liberal arts school and her formal education isn’t in STEM. With all that said did find her speech to be both interesting and inspiring. It was also fitting that she talked about bicycles as my big graduation gift is a new bike! Not sure if this link will work in the future, but here’s the full commencement webcast.

As for the official conferring of degrees, it was actually so much fun in large part because I was graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science and Computer Science. (Note that sadly, majors aren’t listed on Smith diplomas unless a student writes an honors thesis that earns them departmental honors). This degree meant two things for commencement. First, as engineering is Smith’s only Bachelor of Science, we were technically conferred our degrees separately from and before our peers (who were earning Bachelor of Arts degrees). Not that the order itself matters (graduate students were before us anyways), but having this moment with my fellow engineerings was absolutely incredible. Second, instead of flipping our tassels from the right side of our caps to the left side we removed our caps entirely and replaced them with our hard hats! If interested, you can check out this post about the celebration of engineering seniors during which we received our hard hats.

Leading up to commencement itself I was a bit conflicted about which of the hats to wear across the stage. On one hand, the mortar board represented graduating college and naturally highlighted my accomplishment of graduating summa cum laude. On the other hand, the hardhat was unique and represented all of my hard work to earn an engineering degree. Ultimately, I opted for the hard hat and during the ceremony itself decided to tie my gold tassel onto the left side. Around my neck, in addition to my gold cord, I wore a white Society of Women Engineers (SWE) stole, and a bright blue cord for ResLife.

Despite having a set order (so they could read out the correct name), we were handed a completely random diploma. Thus, following the main ceremony Smith has this thing called the diploma circle to redistribute the diplomas. I really didn’t like this part as I was at this point quite drained and quickly crashing following the excitement of officially graduating. Additionally, as Washburn is at the end of the alphabet I got to the diploma circle on the later side which made getting into the actual circle more difficult. Fortunately, as pictured above, I did ultimately get my diploma!
