On Class Day, faculty celebrate the accomplishments of graduates

The Department of Computer Science honored its 203 graduating seniors in a Class Day ceremony on Monday, May 29, conferring honors and awards for outstanding academic achievement.

"Ordinarily on these occasions, we would resort to some cliché about 'turning the page' or the 'end of a chapter,'" said Szymon Rusinkiewicz, David M. Siegel ’83 Professor and chair. "But we all know that the past 4 years have been far from a page or a chapter — it’s been a full-on epic saga! So I congratulate the computer science majors on their outstanding accomplishments, and for persevering through to this happy occasion."

The department's top honor for academic excellence, the Phillip Goldman '86 Senior Prize in Computer Science, was awarded to Austin Li. Li also recieved the Accenture Award, given at the end of junior year. The co-winner of the Accenture Award was Sophie Li. 

Of the 203 graduates, 144 earned a bachelor of engineering degree and 59 earned a bachelor of arts degree. Of all the graduates, 36 earned the University's academic honors; 35 more earned high honors; and 24 students earned highest honors.

Forty-seven of the graduates were inducted into an honor society: Sigma Xi, for distinguished scientific research or Tau Beta Pi, recognizing outstanding engineering achievements. Eight students won the Sigma Xi book award, in recognition of their outstanding research. 

Mutemwa Masheke won the Spirit of Princeton award given by the University. 

The School of Engineering and Applied Science held a separate ceremony to recognize the graduating seniors as part of the BSE program. SEAS selected two COS students for awards:

Nicholas Allen won the Jeffrey O. Kephart '80 Prize in Engineering Physics. The award recognizes an oustanding student in the Engineering Physics program. 

Maximilian Walther won the George J. Mueller Award for combining high scholarly achievement with quality performance in intercollegiate athletics.
