Congratulations, MIT Class of 2023!

“We are proud to be doing this work, and we hope you will join us.”

On May 31, graduates of master’s and doctoral programs in the MIT School of Engineering and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing were honored. Bose CEO Lila Snyder SM ’96, PhD ’98 gave the address.

SHASS advanced degree recipients were honored June 1. Political scientist Meicen Sun PhD ’22 joined as speaker.

The term members will serve between three and five years on MIT’s board of trustees.

Mark Rober’s address to the MIT Class of 2023 featured “three bits of life advice in a humor-filled commencement speech.” Rober relayed to graduates that “if you want to cross the river of life, you’re gonna get wet. You’re gonna have to backtrack. And that’s not a bug, that’s a feature. Frame those failures and slips like a video game, and not only will you learn more and do it faster, but it will make all the successful jumps along the way that much sweeter.”

Boston Magazine reporter Rowan Jacobsen spotlights how MIT faculty, students, and alumni are leading the charge in clean energy startups. “When it comes to game-changing breakthroughs in energy, three letters keep surfacing again and again: MIT,” writes Jacobsen.
