Lauren '25 and Anna '27 Barsokine wanted to commemorate the two years they shared together on campus by recreating a photo from 15 years ago before Lauren graduated this May. The sisters grew up cheering on the Raiders and eventually both decided pursue nursing degrees at MSOE. After 15 years, Lauren, Anna, and Roscoe might not look exactly the same, but their smiles and MSOE spirit remain! #ThrowbackThursday (fb)

In addition to honoring the class of 2025 at commencement this past weekend, we were excited to recognize MSOE Regent Richard Galling with an Honorary Doctor of Engineering degree and welcome Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO of Rockwell Automation, Inc., to deliver the keynote address in the morning ceremony. Galling and Moret spoke encouraging words to the graduates as they step into their careers: "I challenge you now as you commence your careers. Recognize your gifts and use them wisely. Be critical thinkers and do not be afraid to ask questions. Recognize the differences in people and seek common ground. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Inspire those around you. Maintain a purpose in your career and in your life, and give of your time, talent and resources." - Richard Galling "Take stock of the priceless opportunity that is yours to have impact, but enjoy the journey because your impact actually takes place every single day." - Blake Moret Both the 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. ceremonies are available to watch at https://bit.ly/2tjF9Nl (fb)
