A group of smiling graduates from North Carolina State University, are captured in a close-up shot during a graduation ceremony. They are all wearing bright red caps and gowns. From left to right: Leftmost graduate: Appears to be a man with a beard and dark hair, smiling and looking towards the camera. He has a gold stole around his neck. Center graduate: Appears to be a young man with dark, curly hair, looking slightly to his right with a wide smile. He is adorned with multiple honor cords and a gold stole. Rightmost graduate: Appears to be a woman with long, light brown hair, looking slightly to her left with a gentle smile. She has a gold stole draped over her shoulders. In the background, other graduates in similar attire are visible, some clapping, adding to the festive atmosphere of the graduation.

Congratulations to the over 600 Department of Computer Science graduates who were honored during the Spring 2025 Diploma Ceremony! Hundreds of family, friends and CS community members gathered at Reynolds Coliseum on May 1, 2025 to celebrate.

A candid shot of several graduates, all wearing bright red caps and gowns, attending what appears to be a graduation ceremony.

In the foreground, a young woman with long, dark hair and glasses is prominently featured. She is wearing a red cap and gown with a white stole, and she is smiling widely and looking upwards and to her right, suggesting she is watching something happening on stage or a screen.

To her right, another young woman with long, light brown hair, also in a red cap and gown with a white and blue stole, is looking in a similar direction.

To the left of the central woman, a man with a beard is partially visible, also in a red gown and white stole, looking forward. The background is filled with other graduates, creating a sense of a large gathering. The overall mood is one of celebration and anticipation.

This was the largest diploma ceremony in #NCStateCS history, a testament to the department’s strength and our world’s increased need for computer scientists. This year’s graduating class includes 17 Ph.D., 355 M.S. and 262 B.S. degree recipients.

Congratulations to CS senior Caroline Causey, winner of the College of Engineering’s Outstanding Senior Award for Humanities; CS seniors Carolina Bolnykh (Citizenship and Service), Zeiad Yakout (Leadership) and Madison Book (Scholarly Achievement) were also recognized as nominees.
