Today, the College of Information Technology and Computer Studies proudly celebrates a remarkable milestone, the graduation of the CITCS Class of 2026.
More than the completion of a degree, this moment represents years of dedication, perseverance, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Behind every diploma is a story of determination, resilience, and courage. It is a testament to the countless hours spent studying, creating, innovating, overcoming challenges, and refusing to give up despite the odds.
This year marks a historic chapter in the department's legacy as CITCS proudly recognizes its first-ever Magna Cum Laude, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, whose inspiring commencement message reminded us that success is not reserved for those who never struggle, but for those who choose to continue moving forward.
"๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ. ๐๐ฎ๐๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐."
He further challenged the graduating class to dream beyond limitations with a statement that became one of the defining messages of the ceremony:
"๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐. ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ณ๐ฒ? ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ?"
More than a declaration of wealth, it was a declaration of ambition. It was a reminder that no dream is too big when matched with hard work, persistence, and the courage to pursue it despite doubt, fear, or the opinions of others. Progress begins when we stop asking whether our dreams sound impossible and start asking what it will take to achieve them.
Congratulations, CITCS Class of 2026! ๐โจ
You have not only earned your degrees, you have built a legacy.
The future is yours.
