Class of 2026 Steps Forward to Tackle Global Challenges in Science and Research

At a time when medicine, energy, artificial intelligence, and national security increasingly depend on computing, the world looks to Georgia Tech’s newest graduates for answers to life’s most pressing challenges.

That sense of purpose shaped Spring 2026 Commencement, where School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) graduates celebrated years of research, collaboration, and discovery.

“Today, we celebrate you, your accomplishments, and your potential,” said Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera in his commencement address to Ph.D. graduates.

“I thank you for choosing a career of science and research when some question science and research. We need you to continue on this path. The world needs you.”
