Although the coronavirus has delayed our in-person commencement ceremony, we are too proud of our graduates to let May go by without celebrating their amazing achievements.
We hope you’ll help us share this special time by leaving a shout-out below and joining in the festivities on social media with #UTGrad2020.
►The Department of Nuclear Engineering hosted a virtual ceremony for our undergraduates on May 8. Watch the ceremony.

Dear NE Graduates:
I just watched our virtual graduation ceremony and I'm glad I had a chance to reflect on this important event in your (our) lives. I am very proud of all of you and looking forward to a brighter future with your contributions and, of course, powered by clean nuclear energy! Do stop by and say hello when you're back on campus, and don't forget to remind your relatives and friends the importance of flux and k-effective during social gatherings 🙂
All the best wishes,

Alec Cacheris
Congratulations Alec on your graduation! You made it look easy! Brittany and I are proud of you! On to the next level to dominate!
Alec Cacheris
Congrats Alec! You made it, you're now a college graduate. With everything you've learned you've built the fundamentals to be an effective problem solver and critical thinker. Engineering is an amazing field and your job will be to solve problems for the world. Good pay and job security as well.
It's amazing you've finished your undergrad in 4 years (yes, 5 years is more typical). You now have some important decisions to think about. Do you continue only with your masters or get the PhD? What will get you what you want in the end? The farther you go in your secondary education will turn you toward R&D and advisory roles in your field, though nothing is ever out of the question. My advice is to think deeply about this and make a commitment. The only wrong choice is one you don't feel comfortable with internally.
Congrats again on this achievement, and it will be the first of many to come in your collegiate and professional careers. Work hard and think objectively and you'll achieve anything you put your head to. I'm proud of you brother and keep up the hard work!
