Joining thousands of Red Raiders in celebrating the completion of their academic journeys,
93 graduate and 401 undergraduate Rawls College students received their diplomas this
past December. These students, now alumni, are venturing out prepared to uphold the
college's legacy in their future endeavors.
Having overseen the graduate journeys, Senior Associate Dean of Graduate Programs Mayukh Dass, Ph.D., shared his perspective.
“The fall 2025 graduating cohort has distinguished itself through intellectual rigor,
resilience, and a strong commitment to leadership,” said Dass. “We take immense pride
in witnessing our students leave our institution well-prepared not only to excel in
their chosen professions but also to become leaders in our society.”
Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs Dino Villegas, Ph.D., spoke to the undergraduate spirit and determination.
“For the fall 2025 graduates, I’ve seen a group of students who’ve really worked hard for what they’ve achieved,” said Villegas. “They’ve made tough choices, used their creativity, and shown a kind of initiative that makes me confident they’re going to go out there and shape the future.”
Although significant, college is only meant to be a chapter in a lifelong storybook. As the newest Rawls College alumni begin their next chapter, their lasting achievements set a standard of excellence for the incoming cohort of students, both in person and online.
