As we celebrated the Class of 2021 this past weekend, I was reminded of the excitement and optimism our students bring to education. It was with great pride that I was able to attend the limited in-person event on campus, and witness our graduates receive the degrees that they earned despite this last year’s significant challenges. On behalf of GSOE, congratulations to all our graduates. I'd like to also recognize their support networks — families, friends, faculty, and staff —who helped them achieve their goals. I invite you to view the online celebrations, and read on for more GSOE news and stories.

With gratitude,

Louie Rodríguez
Interim Dean and Professor
