In June, CBEE celebrated one of the largest and most diverse graduating classes in our school’s history, with preliminary numbers showing 200 undergraduates and 34 graduate students receiving degrees. Forty percent of those graduating were women.
Gregory S. Herman, school head and the James and Shirley Kuse Chair in Chemical Engineering addressed about 1,100 family members and friends who came to cheer on loved ones at the 2019 CBEE Graduation Celebration, held June 14 at Corvallis High School.
“As you embark on the next phase of your lives, please remember what you have done, and what you can do, to benefit not just yourselves, your families, and your employers — but also your communities, your colleagues, your nation, your world,” Herman said. ” We hope you will use your engineering principles to create a better future no matter where you go .”
