Lorena found this in a file box today when she was looking for some tax documents for me. It reminded me of how proud we are of Christian’s hard work and dedication throughout his Bachelor’s and PhD degree and then on to his current research scientist position at MIT. As graduation approaches and we get invited to high school graduation ceremonies, it is nice to remember Christian graduated summa cum laude with an honors degree in Applied Mathematics from NCSU as his same age peers were graduating from high school. We are going to frame this and put it on the wall beside his diplomas.
