Words from Faculty
On behalf of the MST faculty and staff, CONGRATULATIONS!! Can you believe how fast the academic year has flown by! Imagine the first day you came to campus to start your program and take classes and the excitement you felt. I imagine you are feeling the same way right now. Completing your program—whether it took you one year, two years, three years, or a bit longer than that, is a major achievement worth the excitement, celebration, and feelings you are experiencing right now. We look forward to celebrating with you over the next couple of weeks and at the official graduation ceremony. Know that you can come back to campus and experience a new first day again—the first day you come back to visit us as a TC alum! We are so very proud of you! We celebrate you!
View the graduation gallery and celebrate alongside your fellow MST peers who have done amazing work and made valuable contributions to our collective learning as a remarkable department. We know you will continue to do great things to improve the world around you-- you're MST Alum! Thank you for spending part of your lives with us in the Mathematics Education program area, the Science Education fourth floor of Zankel, and the CMLTD program open space in Thompson. Please keep in touch; we love hearing from our alumni!
Sincerely,
Felicia Moore Mensah
Chair, Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology

When I look back on my journey at MST, I am filled with gratitude and a sense of accomplishment. TC has played a crucial role in shaping my understanding of the world. Engaging in diverse perspectives and thought-provoking discussions has broadened my horizons, revealing education as a powerful force that knows no boundaries and empowers individuals. This realization has sparked a passion within me to advocate for equitable and inclusive educational opportunities for all. Moreover, the friendships I have forged within the MST community are truly invaluable. I want to thank me friend Bellas and Chelsey who also graduated from MST from supporting me through the ups and downs.

Project Title: Towards a Design Framework that Facilitates Collaborative Learning through Digital Technologies
I will never forget the way Professor Kuwata always asks in class: "Why is that important?", "Why do you think it matters?". Beyond all the learning theories and frameworks, my biggest takeaway from my two-and-half-year journey at TC is that "asking the right questions will lead to the right answer." I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the faculty at TC who have helped me discover what has become my guiding principle in life, as I will always try to ask the "right" question that matters.
Wish all my fellow graduates the best of luck in discovering what you are truly passionate about, and may we all make a meaningful impact in this world by applying what we have learned here at TC.
