Congratulations on this wonderful achievement! All of us at the Computer Science Department are extremely proud of your success. We have seen first-hand how much effort you put into your learning. Those countless hours trying to debug that SEGFAULT, or trying to understand that 10-page project specification - it has all finally paid off. Overcoming today’s uncommon circumstances due to COVID-19 should make you and your loved ones proud of you.
