Yesterday, @RiceUniversity President @RDesRoches made his way back to campus to give the keynote speech at our doctoral ceremony! He shared some words of wisdom for our new Ph.D. grads! 🎓🎉 #BEGrad26 #CalGrad

[ITS Berkeley @BerkeleyITS]

Looks like we made it! Happy commencement to our @Cal_engineer @berkeleycee PhD graduates. The journey was long, but well worth it. We loved that you took us along for the ride at UC Berkeley, but now we're excited to see where you begin the adventure!

[UC Berkeley Graduate Division @GradDivision]

Congratulations to you all! You've #MasteredIt! #CalGrad #BerkeleyGraduateStudents

Graduated from @UCBerkeley with a Master of #Engieering in #Bioengineering with focus on #AI for #science🐻

Very grateful for my team and all the people I met along the way who helped me grow, fail, build, and rise again.

We caught up with NASA astronaut Warren “Woody” Hoburg (M.S.’11, Ph.D.’13 EECS) ahead of his keynote speech at our baccalaureate commencement!

He had some words of advice for our new grads — and our first aerospace engineering cohort in particular. 🚀 #BEGrad26

"Having an intellectual home — pursuing a PhD at all — is an enormous privilege. This is one of the rare seasons of life where you get to take the ideas that keep you up at night and actually pursue them." - Ph.D. speaker Tonya Nguyen

[Berkeley Engineering @Cal_Engineer]

One of our favorite moments during today’s doctoral commencement? Student speaker Megan Teng (Ph.D.’26 ME) acknowledging her grandmother’s impact on her work — and encouraging all of our Ph.D. grads to wave to their loved ones on our livestream.
