Because of the postponement of graduation and the disruption caused by COVID-19, President Pierson has decided it would be best to waive the graduation fee which was $75.00 for Master's Degree candidates, $50.00 for Bachelor's Degree candidates and $25.00 for Certificate only candidates.
If you have already paid the graduation fee, you will receive a refund.

Today is International Ada Lovelace Day (http://findingada.com ). Named after the famous mathematician, the day celebrates the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It was originally created in the UK, where there are some public events tonight, such as a ‘science cabaret’ event in London, UK, at which women in STEM give short talks about their work or about other women who have inspired them.

One other aspect that came up was a press release we received from Ada Diamonds, a company that specializes in using technology and laboratory-grown diamonds to create unique jewelry (http://www.adadiamonds.com/our-company -lovelace ). The company is named after Lovelace. I also remember coding in the Ada programming language when I was a student. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_%28programming_language%29
Which got me wondering, along with events celebrating Lovelace today, can you name any other companies or devices which have been named after a famous scientist? Put your answers in the comments!
