To the NSE Graduates,
Congratulations on your graduation, and on all you have accomplished at MIT. On behalf of the Nuclear Science and Engineering department, we are proud to celebrate this milestone with you.
You are graduating at a moment when our field is gaining renewed importance around the world. Questions of energy security, climate, quantum engineering, computation, and national security are bringing nuclear science and engineering to the forefront in new ways. The need for people who can work across science, engineering, and policy with depth, care, and responsibility has rarely been greater.
Your education in NSE has prepared you for exactly this moment. You have learned not only technical skills, but also how to approach complex systems, weigh evidence carefully, and take seriously the broader consequences of your work. These are strengths that matter far beyond the classroom.
Wherever you go next, we hope you carry forward both confidence in your training and a sense of responsibility to use it well. Our field is evolving quickly, and we are excited to see the ways you will help shape its future.
Congratulations again. We are proud of all you have achieved, and we look forward to all you will contribute in the years ahead.
With best wishes,
On behalf of the NSE Department
