Congratulations to the spring 2020 graduates from civil, architectural and environmental engineering CArEE)! The coronavirus altered this year’s festivities, but the CArEE students, staff and faculty team showed their Miner spirit and persevered. The department awarded more than 100 engineering degrees on Saturday, May 16, with master’s degree graduate Katie Bartels serving as commencement speaker. We are confident these newly minted Miner alumni will contribute to a legacy of excellence that dates back to the first graduation from Missouri School of Mines, when two of the three graduates were civil engineers. 

The day before the virtual commencement, more than 65 CArEE students, staff and faculty joined together online to celebrate what would have been a traditional senior luncheon and awards ceremony . During the online ceremony, Cole Distler, Ashley Fillback, Abby Menkhus, Rahel Pommerenke, Jonathan Galvez and Marina Mueller received Senior Achievement Awards, and Pommerenke and Scott Grier received Stueck Outstanding Senior Awards.
