UNC Computer Science

This weekend in Sitterson, we hooded our newest doctors and welcomed them into the ancient and universal company of scholars. 🎓

A PhD in computer science is no small thing. Years of research, qualifying exams, a dissertation that took on a life of its own, a defense, and somewhere along the way — a question worth spending your career chasing. This year’s cohort tackled questions across real-time systems, machine learning for healthcare, language models, computer vision, telepresence, private messaging, and more.

Behind every hood is an advisor who believed, collaborators who worked late nights in labs, and a fan club who showed up with flowers and the loudest cheers in the building.

To the partners, parents, and friends who held it all together: thank you. A PhD is never a solo endeavor.

Congratulations to our newest doctors. The title is well-earned. 💙

On a day of locking in for finals, we are remembering a bit of joy brought to us by our Student Experience Ambassadors at our Tar Heel, Tails, and Boba event.

Thanks to the team we were able to do some of our favorite things…enjoy boba, play with our new four-legged besties, and catch up with our two-legged besties. It was a great way to celebrate the end of the semester and relax before we dive into finals. 🩵🐏🐶
