Graduation ceremony celebrates Class of 2022

BY GREG FORNIA

On May 4, the College of Science and Technology held an in-person graduation ceremony for the Class of 2022 inside The Liacouras Center. One of the college’s largest graduation ceremonies ever, both in the number of participants and guests, this ceremony saw degrees presented at the bachelor’s, master’s, professional science master’s and doctoral levels for more than 600 graduates.

The ceremony began with remarks from Dean Michael L. Klein, FRS, who told the graduates that their Temple experience means they “will help solve today’s toughest problems.”

The keynote speaker was Sir Anthony K. Cheetham, FRS, a Research Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Distinguished Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore and a leader in the materials chemistry community.

The student speaker, Guercie Guerrier, CST ’22, graduated with a bachelor’s in biology and a minor in sociology of health. Guerrier is now attending the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program. Her goal is to be a physician-scientist whose research positively impacts traditionally medically underserved communities.

Mark Dash, CST ’84, former president of the CST Alumni Board, welcomed the new graduates into the Temple alumni community and urged them to “stay connected, and give back to students and fellow alumni.”
