Fall 2021 Graduate Recognition Ceremony

The rumors are true! We will hold our Fall recognition ceremony for graduating students (BS/MS/PhD) on Friday, December 17th, at 4:30 pm. 

You can experience the ceremony in one of three ways:

  • Participate in person: the event will be in room SENSQ 2400 (2nd-floor auditorium),
  • Participate remotely: you can do so via zoom (Pitt authentication will be required) -- we will email the link to those who sign up, and
  • View the ceremony from anywhere in the world: we will live-stream the whole event on Youtube (subscribe to our channel).  

If you have applied for graduation this term (or graduated in August) and want to participate, please sign up (by Dec 15th) and consider submitting a video to dedicate your degree and share a fond memory from Pitt CS; we will show these videos at the event.
