Words from Faculty
Dear MST Graduates,
Congratulations! On behalf of all of the MST faculty and staff, I extend our very best wishes to you and your family for this wonderful occasion! We have enjoyed getting to know you during your time at TC, and we are so very proud of all that you have accomplished. We have had some challenges-- to say the least over the past couple of years--yet your steadfast commitment to your goals and dreams have brought you to this moment. Virtual, remote, hybrid, and face-to-face learning are formats that we have become too familiar with, seeing each other in our Zoom, Brady Bunch, or Hollywood Squares (asks your parents and grandparents) has allowed us to remain in touch and to move ahead to reach this moment. Graduating from Teachers College is a tremendous accomplishment worth celebrating. As we slowly transition to more face-to-face gatherings, we look forward to celebrating with you in person, if not at graduation, but in the future. An open invitation to come back home to MST and TC is always in your email or Google invite!
View the graduation gallery and celebrate alongside your peers who have done amazing work and made valuable contributions to our collective learning as a 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 CMLTD suite, the Science Education corridor, and the Program in Mathematics offices. Please keep in touch with us; we always want to hear from our alumni!
Sincerely,
Felicia Moore Mensah
Chair, Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology

Congratulations to the entire 2022 graduating class!
Beyond grateful to my advisor, Dr. Jin Kuwata, and the rest of the teaching crew with a special nod to Dr. Paulo Blikstein. A special thank you to my long list of peers, especially my TC rock (you know you who are!), who showed me grace and support in all my pursuits here at TC.
Most importantly, to my parents: We did it through everything. I'm so proud of us! Te amo siempre.
