91ÊÓƵ

The countdown is on.

Commencement season is almost here, and we can’t wait to celebrate all that our graduates have accomplished. This is one of my favorite times of year—it’s a moment to reflect on how far our students have come and to look ahead to all the incredible things they’re about to do next.

This year, we’re excited to welcome an outstanding group of speakers and honorees whose stories speak to the very heart of our mission—Opportunitas. They’re creators, leaders, changemakers. And they exemplify what’s possible when talent meets determination and opportunity. Find out more about our speakers, FAQ, and other important information about Commencement.

As we close out the semester, this issue of 91ÊÓƵ Now shines a light on members of our community who are going for it every day. You’ll meet international student Lizi Imedashvili ’26 and student-athlete Jabari Nurse—who brings leadership and positivity to everything he does. You’ll also hear from SOE professor Carieann Sipos, whose dedication to preparing future educators is helping shape the next generation.

We’re also highlighting some important resources to support your well-being, including Mental Health First Aid training. And if you're a student, remember: it’s time to plan ahead. Graduate registration opens April 7, and undergraduates can start registering on April 14. Here’s how to get started.

Let’s finish the semester strong—and I’ll see you at Commencement.

Warmly,

Marvin Krislov
President, 91ÊÓƵ
