Student Spotlights from the 2022 Graduating Class
More than 3,600 graduates comprise the December Class of 2022. Among them are teachers, researchers, artists, engineers, architects, business and health care professionals, and data scientists. Below are just a few of the soon-to-be alumni who will celebrate their achievements during weekend ceremonies.
“I love the opportunity that a degree in systems engineering provides within any industry. Systems engineering is a blend of data analysis, optimization, engineering design, project management, and economics that are all necessary for running a project.”
“At a certain point in your studies, there might seem to be more hard times than happy ones, but eventually, the happy ones overcome the hard ones. Don’t give up!”
“The thing that I am most excited about in teaching is the growth I get to see in my students. I enjoy knowing that whether it is academic, social or behavioral growth, I get to make a positive difference in my students’ lives.”
“After graduation, I will transition from my part-time role as a graphic designer at NASCAR to a full-time role. I also look to further develop my own freelance brand as well.”
“We are always learning something new – whether it is a new therapeutic drug that is being discovered or a new way that a cell moves or a new understanding into a tissue’s developmental process … I love the possibilities that not knowing can bring.”
“I chose UNC Charlotte in part because of the University’s location, but also the strength of the history department and the wide array of historical fields studied by the history professors.”
“Health care is something that everyone needs, and the field is constantly evolving and growing. I’m looking forward to being a part of a team that helps improve health not only at the individual but also at the community level.”
“The sky’s the limit on what you can do with your degrees in computer science. It’s a space that invites change and challenges for there to be growth, which I believe any major should encourage because that invites new creativity and innovative ideas to nourish and grow overtime.”
“I have learnt that I am capable of anything that I put my mind to. I always knew that it would be a change moving away from my country, but I know that this change is called adaptability.”
“Every design problem presents a unique set of challenges which, in turn, provides new opportunities to learn and grow with each new project.”
