CIE/IE Degrees Earned in the 2022-2023 Academic Year

 

 

Once again UMass changed the pattern of graduation ceremonies with Master’s degrees being awarded in a separate ceremony on a different day, while the doctoral students were hooded in a joint ceremony with the undergraduates in the stadium.

 

 

 

 

 

In a very unusual occurrence, Ben Scherrer and Mariam Rashid, a married couple who are both associated with CIE were each awarded doctoral degrees in the same ceremony.  (Pictured left)

 

 

 

 

This year there was a larger than usual group of CIE/IE doctoral graduates representing five different countries: Afghanistan, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi and the USA.
