Congratulations, FSU Graduates!

While waiting for the TCC graduation ceremony to begin, I found a copy of the FSU booklet listing all of the Spring 2007 graduates from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. There were a number of familiar names in it. Almost 10% of the spring graduates had been in my physics class at TCC! They span several years of students, due to the usual delays due to part-time or full-time jobs, so some may not even know they share a history at TCC.

Congratulations to every one of you!

Your faculty at TCC wish you well as you move on to a career in engineering.

Two deserve special note: Kristin Brown completed a Masters degree. I remember well her growth as a student at TCC, and am pleased to see that she has reached this level of achievement. Her success might help others realize that they can do the same. Ali Hemmati graduated with a double major in ME and mathematics. For those of you who don't know, Ali got the club started as a student chapter of ASME. His initiative laid the groundwork for what we have today. Keep up the good work, Ali!

Now the full list:

Master of Science in Civil Engineering:

• Kristin Brown

Bachelor of Science:

• Tristan Appenfeldt (Electrical Eng)
• Jonathon Davis (Mechanical Eng)
• Jennifer Graham (Industrial Eng)
• Joseph Greene (Computer Eng)
• Ali Hemmati (Mechanical Eng and Mathematics double major, Magna Cum Laude)
• Coby McColgin (Mechanical Eng, Magna Cum Laude)
• Christopher Monzingo (Electrical Eng)
• Tushar Patel (Computer Eng and Electrical Eng double major, Magna Cum Laude)
• Aung-Zaw Sie (Electrical Eng)
• Brian Van Straton (Mechanical Eng, Summa Cum Laude)
  
• Lucas VanSickle (Civil Eng)
  

Congratulations Again!

Although I cross-checked the list with my old grade books, I can't guarantee that I got everyone. I have also heard news of some who graduated in December. I should try to track those down and update this list.
